The first time around, Russia and America went nearly fifty years without a major, serious conflict that set the world on fire.

The Americans’ weapons and better training even out the playing field somewhat as the two sides battle it out, but as a new Cold War gets underway, it’s immediately apparent that this war won’t be like the first. But to give George a chance, the American men and women fighting, who are severely outnumbered, must find a way turn the tables long enough to slow down the Russians. Spetsnaz and other Russian forces stealthily attack carefully selected targets, knocking out, among other things, the Americans’ communication.Īny hope of reestablishing communication relies on George O’Neill, an everyday-Joe Staff Sergent who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Waiting for them is a small, but well-trained unit of American fighters who skillfully hold off the invading forces until they realize a bigger strategy is at work. Using a heavy winter storm as cover, Yovanovich leads a massive number of Russian tanks and special forces soldiers to the border of Russia and Germany. With the Warsaw Pack fully reinstated, Cheninko has set his sights on Germany–where American soldiers still reside. Set in the not-too-distant future, Russia has finally returned to its Soviet roots.
