Vortex: 1979-1995 (AU Cold War)

[Ulstermann]

Okay, so the premise is simple. In late 1979 a conventional war breaks out between the East and West. Fighting on every continent which will last for over a decade. Other conflicts will flare up too. I'll not go into major detail until I get some interest, but for now I'll put up a brief summary of the factions and a CS.

Signed in 1975 this Pact built on the Warsaw Pact and brought together all the Communist forces in the world into one alliance.

Ok, so... What exactly is going to happen in this RP?

(Also, let's ignore the fact that South Africa is an ex-British colony that would certainly be on the west's side.)

[Ulstermann]

Well it's essentially a Communist assault on the West, with different fronts experiencing vicious fighting. Think Red Storm Rising. And South Africa circa 1979 was no friend of the West. Apartheid made it a pariah, and it had been suffering trade embargoes for years.

Besides this isn't an exhaustive list
