[quote=SyrianHamster] HeySeuss,to cover the nuclear aspect of the invasion, maybe have it so the American military is still in the game, albeit losing badly on all fronts. Maybe the war hasn't reached an end-game do or die scenario, and so whatever remains of the American government has not yet pressed the big red button. On the other hand, Russian Speznaz are being dropped on these facilities and capturing them - perhaps the resistance at some point could liberate/defend one? Knowing Americans, which I don't, their army wouldn't have given up to Communism without a Custer style determination. Areas of America still being under American control would at least give the resistance hope, and something to fight for. However, I am happy to go with whatever, as to me half then fun of an RP is making your character fit with a world out of your control/different from what you would have done.Just my thoughts on the matter :) [/quote] Yeah, this is all stuff I had in mind; I would say that various parts of the Midwest are still operational, though the US South took a disproportionate hit from the Soviets and the PRC piled on Cali because of the density of bases with combat forces in those regions. Most of the nukes are in the midwest, but the US forces aren't about to drop that on their own soil, though some extremists might be willing to try to use them as a terrorist device in Soviet-occupied areas. It's a tense sort of situation, since patriot groups are unruly as hell and probably some of the more prominent organizations running the guerrilla resistance. I'd say that what US forces there are would be tattered as hell though -- they're relying on guerrillas to keep the Soviets pinned in occupied areas.
