October-December 1981: The Sino-Russian war rages on chinese advance into eastern russia is halted as most of the troops were sent to try to evict the russian invasion of the southern Chinese coast. The Chinese troops sent to attack Moscow arrive and a war of attrition is fought in its streets as the russians cut them off from the middle east supply depots.
A british sleeper cell in moscow becomes active and detonates a 300KT bomb under the west wing of the kremlin. No-one was hurt and very little important was destroyed however as the entire facility had been evacuated to lenningrad when china attacked. The newly restored British army attacks the blockaded Russians. They take most of the western half of south africa and Russian and British squadrons engage around the Cape of Good Hope, each trying to cut off the others supply lines.
Czechoslovakia and West germany surrenders to their respective former allies.
The west german government is forcebly retired and the replacements are staunch NATO supporters only.
Warsaw is more harsh in its punishment; the czechoslovakian politicians are executed and half of its land and civillians are absorbed into the neigbouring countries.
Result: Sino-Russian war is stagnating and the British are slowly pushing the Russians out of South africa. Czechoslovakia has been castrated and the occuping NATO forces are still sitting in West Germany.
1982:
Chinese take moscow in May and turn it into a Fortress; Mines, hidden anti-tank troops, machine gun turrets etc are deployed. Russians in response sit their armies outside the city and make fake attacks and slowly trick the besiged chinese into wasting most of the ammunition. Chinese forces try multiple times to raid the russian countryside for food and russian depots for ammo and fuel but are dismayed as the russians have harvested and burned nearby farms and that any russian ordinance they find are unuseable with Chinese firearms. When the Russians truely attack in November they find that a quarter of the army has starved and over three quarters of the remainders had allready fled the city into the countryside some time ago mainly during the attempted farm raids.
Iran and Pakistan after being Embargo'd along with the rest of the NAP by russia joins in the war on china's side in Febuary and they kick the Russians out of southern china freeing the remaining Chinese to start the northern offensive anew. The war in South Africa ended after the Russians withdraw their troops to help fend off the new combatants and Britain reclaimed the country. Just like history the Argentinians invaded the falkland islands in April 1982 and like history the were driven off. Unlike history however an allready enraged Britain decided to send the Argentinian sea trade back 3 Millennia by bombing and shelling every port in the Argentinan coast. They did such a thorough job that the american astronauts said they were able to see the craters from space.
1983:
At the start of the year Iran, Pakistan and China renewed the northern war and pushed the Russian forces further back to the point that mongolia was completely encircled by the Chinese. The anti MEC, now Anti NAP, were brought into the war in May by promises of high grade weapons from russia and the middle eastern war restarted with the Egyptian, Arabian and Syrian armies moving into the lands previously occupied by the chinese troops sent to moscow. This act forced Iran and Pakistan to withdraw from China removing their numerical advantage and moving the Northern line back south.
After America threatened that they would join in on the side of China if they resisted, Russia was forced to withdraw all claims on east germany and let it rejoin with the West to form a Central Germany under NATO's jurisdiction. It is unknown if it the Warsaw pact will accept it in the long run but as the Americans were quick to point out; "those Russian sucker's cant do a thing about it".
1984:
A deadly chapter in the Sino-Russian war started. The United kingdom invaded the Russian controled Sakhalin island opening a third front. Due to Russia allready being overstretched as it is warsaw was called into the war and polish, hungarian romanian and the small amount of czechoslovakian troops were deployed to the front lines and entered a war of attrition as warsaw and the Royal navy battled over the arctic islands with many ships and troops on both sides being lost to not only the enemy but the cold.
1985: There have been many powers over the years. Many have risen many have fallen but few have ever made the effort to become a superpower. In the last 5 years the power that is known as india has made such an effort and has now risen to be the 5th World Superpower its economy had exploded and its industry had boomed its nuclear program has been sucessfull and it after 5 years of work it has become one of the big boys. Both the NAP and the Warsaw pact had weakened after 3 and 1/2 years of non stop violence and it has left them bloodied and destitute. Fighting a seemingly never ending standoff has taken its toll and when on 1985 India declared its demands that both sides will stand down and restore things to the status quo the war or be destroyed they had no choice but to count their blessings and declare a draw.
The war between Warsaw and China's allies had ended. The United kingdom and the Middle east coalition, relatively unharmed by war in comparison to the others, were not perturbed by the threats of the subcontinent and only declared peace after India forced the Chinese to restore the lands taken in the Middle east and the Russians to surrender Sahkalin, Severny and Yuzhny Islands to the Royal Navy. Seeing the British takeover of stratiegic posictions in the arctic the Americans offered Britain its old position in Nato in exchange for the permission to position Air and Naval bases on them. Seeing as the USSR would most likely try to destroy the United kingdom if they didnt have a powerfull ally when Russia's strength was restored, Britain accepted the alliance.
1986:
The Eastern Continent starts to rebuild from the war.
Tibetian rebels, seeing the weakness in China's military, attempt a full on rebellion for Tibet's freedom but due to the entire continent being reluctant to start another war in Asia support is minimal. The rebelion stagnates as the Chinese are unable to find and kill all the rebels and the rebels have difficulty accumilating enough weaponry to do much damage.
1987
Russia and China both report a 50% resoration of thier country and Russia pettitions the UN to force the UK to return the Sahkalin Island, the pettition fails. The USA, being the only world wide superpower at full strength, demand the Chinese and Russians to surrender and send their nuclear arsenals to the USA. China and Russia take it badly.
Just kidding.
