Just out of curiosity, why are you diverging from the v1.0 timeline?

I have some people who might play T2K but don't want it to be post apocalyptic. They'd prefer a techno thriller Cold War style game, and I think a war ravaged Europe still dealing with the aftermath (while bracing for round two) would be a great setting.

Besides the aforementioned stop line I'm going to insert a few bits and pieces from other sources like "Red Storm Rising", "The War that Never Was" and both of Hackett's books.

- capture of Iceland
- stealth bomber pre-emptive strikes
- large B-52 conventional raid
- much more NATO naval success in North Sea
-fighting in North Africa (Egypt vs. Libya), South Africa (South Africa vs. Angola and friends), South America (Peru vs. Ecuador), etc.

Not sure yet how to handle China and still on the fence concerning Indian sub-continent.

Would there be any nuclear use at all in your game?

Not sure yet, but leaning towards Tactical exchange + limited strategic use in China/Eastern USSR as well as a smaller but still brutal exchange on the Indian subcontinent.
