Contemporary T2K Background

[TicToc]

Gents, I about to start a table top game where I have re written a bit of the T2K history to bring it up to our current timeline.

-Essentially the USSR falls, the Russian Federation rises
-Russia feels the effects of an expanding NATO, Russia wants more control -Russia and China fight
-Russia starts to bully satellite states into submission, with few exceptions they fall into line though either force of diplomacy, force of insurrection, or force of arms
-NATO gets nervous
-Eastern European Satelite nations with backing of Russia conduct skirmish operation in Poland, Germany steps in to support its neighbor, Russia invades Poland, The war starts
-NATO throws money and troops at Europe
-Back and forth, back and forth for a couple years, Nukes fly, back and forth again, more nukes fly, ect ect

Its pretty much the v2 timeline except that I wrote in the USSR falling and 6 years later it is essentially functional again for all intents and purposes (really just a tool to advance the timeline), and wrote in the global war on terror. The full timeline is something like 8 pages long.

Does anyone know of any similar projects? What is everyones take on working a more modern timeline?
