Very true. What I'm getting at is the apparently growing habit of pulling what is available now back to a game (versions 1.0 and 2.x) set almost a generation ago*. It's a bit like trying to justify M-48 tanks being involved in D-Day....

*That makes me feel soooo old!

Thanks not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about a new game with a slower build up to the nuclear exchanges and game time occurring. Bascily have the Sino-Soviet border war slowly build up to the DDR finding their best troops being used as cannon fodder by the soviet war machine and deciding they want out (along with several other of the satellite states)... have the build up of the war simmer and build up.. a limited nuclear exchange that doesn't knock everyone back to the stone age, but the war is continuing with everyone having to deal with the EMP effects (admit it... EMP with today's tech would really FUCK everything up) as well as protecting the nation form outside forces.

but having the war hit EVERY part of the Globe (including our Aussie and Kiwi friends) is what i'm talking about.
