Well at the time there was alot of guerilla warfare going on in afew countries between the USA/USSR sponsered states and rebels/freedomfighters. Maybe I could have it so that if the sides dont help their side win the civil wars they could lose main resources with consequences. For example if Venesuala becomes communist, Nato loses an oil supply and take longer to mobilise for war.

I think I will implement one or two mercenary nations like somolia that if supplied and armed by, lets say, Russia, they will raid nato's shipping and make transportation around the indian ocean area allmost imposisible and the only way to stop it is to invade.
