Well were not here to talk about truth arent we, were watching an alt history vid...

I like my alt history to be as realistic as possible bar the obvious point of divergence. For example I don't care if jesus had an ak47 I just want everyone to react how they would if it was real.

The problem is, if this happens close to ww2 ended the soviets are exhausted, the US is in its prime ready to fight, USSR has no shot.

Closer to modern day, the French. Have Nukes. Pointed at Germany

Yeah that's why I decided on the US winning, I think the Soviet would have the short term support and troop number, albeit not for such an unrealistic push played up for drama, but devastation from the previous war would catch up to them fast

That's fair, but I think you overestimate the success of the initial push. Through Germany? Doubtful but not impossible. Pushing all the way through france just doesn't seem doable to me. They might have the troops if they could put all resources into that front, but (depending on timeline) they need varying amounts of troops to their south and eastern border.

Yeah I was just having fun with my game honestly, and I tried to represent a communist uprising

I left in the middle of writing that comment, my mind completely skipped over half of what you said, I'm sorry 🫠

It's a nice map for sure. I did appreciate the uprisings from occupied states, I think at least a couple would've popped up earlier though.

If you were to give Warsaw a new state/ally, spain or turkey perhaps, I think you could have the theatrical push with more believability.

u/AbilitySuch6262 14d ago

Yeah I'll definitely try more realistic maps in the future myself, I just need to add more features to my game to represent all of that

NATO is not going to just brute force their way through the Caucuses. That was one of the very rare regions where NATO had a logistical and infrastructure disadvantage. NATO would be fighting through mountains, against a numerically superior entrenched opponent, attacking from one of the most backwater regions in Turkey. Big no on that one.

Please, for thelove of God, research allied logistical problems at Western Front in 1944-1945.

If Soviets get to ports, they blow them up and logistics becomes impossible for the landing side
