China-russia war

[Cdnwolf]

Did anyone do a study (cough cough CHICO) of the China-Russia conflict in the TWL2000 setting before I post?

After a period of increasing tension and escalating border incidents,full-scale war erupts between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. The Red Army enjoys rapid initial success, and tank columns roar deep into the northern Chinese industrial heartland.

Rereading the Bear and the Dragon by Tom Clancy and after 800 pages of BS finally get to the invasion of Russian by the Chinese troops. Now this book was written in 1999 fitting into the Twilight 2000 setting perfectly and even with the limited goals of the 4 Chinese Armies of the gold fields and oilfields of NorthEast Siberia there is no way "tank columns roar deep into the Northern Chinese industrial heartland" based on terrain and logistics alone. Supply was a nightmare in the book with only one rail line available and trying to airlift munitions and supplies stretched even the US civilian cargo airplanes that were called up by Executive Order.
