Another alternate timeline

[Adm.Lee]

Have we discussed using the autumn of 1983 as our point of departure from real history?

That was when the Kremlin was in a panic over Grenada, the Star Wars speech, and Exercise Able Archer 83. Most of T2k's gear is of '80s vintage, what would that war look like if somewhere in there, things went wrong? We'd have Twilight:1987 or something, but still...

I'm kinda stuck on '80s things right now, my 25-year high school reunion is happening this weekend, a lot of Facebook remembrances are going on and so on.
