I agree completely that such an invasion would be unsuccessful in any strategic sense. The question is whether we can craft a way to plausibly get upwards of 12 Soviet Divisions landed in Anchorage, and Juneau, and end up with them spread out along the Can-Am highway and the coastal northwest between Whitehorse and Vancouver Island.

Or does the soviet deployment to isolated places like Queen Charlotte Island and Juneau just seem ridiculous?
