 Hello and welcome to the Wiki! 

The factual data base


Were you ever turned on by the Cuban Missile Crisis, Checkpoint Charlie, Exercise Reforger or the Berlin Wall? Here is a wiki devoted to the Cold War era!

So, turn on your AN/PRC-77 Portable Transceiver, activate your radar, peer over the Inner German Border, order Ordine Nuovo to crush the GRU and KGB spy rings, phone the White House and fire your Davy Crockett Weapon System at the Symbionese Liberation Army's Collective farm before they steal our Fouga CM.170 Magisters!

You can swat up on your Cold War knowledge by Visiting topics like- RAF Croughton, Tatishchevo Air Base, the Swiss National Redoubt (1880-2010), Ubon Royal Thai Air Force BaseCool fighters/ground attack aircraft, Soviet Ice Breaker Lenin, radar, Bikini Atoll, Exercise Reforger, Explorer 1, Treaties, outer space, Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17, the 1970 Polish protests, FMA IA 58 Pucará, Fiat G.91, Black Liberation Army (BLA), Soviet AgitProps, The atomic artillery peace ‘Atomic Annie’ and Sputnik on their own entry pages now!

Do you know where Koksan Airport/Airfield is? If not, I just made a page for it!

Watch some Awesome Videos, fly around with some Tu 160 and peep at the nuke stuff on the Atomic warfare information notes.

Do you think your being watched, if so see: Zenit 2, GRU and KH-1 "Corona", C, they might have been taking photos of you! Heard about the 1968 Polish political crisis and 1970 Polish protests yet? Well, hear it is!

Planned game's scenario synopsis


See- Scenario: 1991: new world order map game

This (currently on hold) game's scenario is in a parallel universe I created, in which Several unlikely OTL events, big and small, have disrupted history in this parallel universe and in which the flow of history has been deflected on many different alternate courses.It is set in the early 1990s and is based on communist hard-liners toppling Gorby in 1991 . Game play occurs 3 years after the marginally successfully 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt! Chechenya and Manchuria were understandably not all that concerned since they had there own problems to. Some places like Republic of Bavaria are unique geopolitical quirks of this world.

It is set in the early 1990s and is based on communist hard-liners toppling Gorby in 1991. It is also backed up by a massive and ever growing factual data base pages on things like the Swiss National Redoubt (1880-2010), RAF Croughton, radar and the Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base so as to give users both a short education on the real life topic. I'm 43 years old so I remember Gorby, Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko) Map games are a popular phenomenon on many sites, so I thought I would make an attempt at a more plausible, but not overly regulated modern era game. This one is an attempt at a neo-Cold War gone hot sim' set in 1994, all-be-it with a small bit of alternate geopolitical frivolity just to liven it up a bit. The game thus spins around the scenario I set out! It is also backed up several by factual pages so as to give users both a short education on the real life topic and an understanding of the game's alternate era scenario.

Did George Bush senior really mean to drop us a big hint with his New World Order speech on the 11th of September 1991?! The marginally successfully 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt! Chechenya and Manchuria were understandably not all that concerned since they had there own problems to.

The 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall was a disaster as the ever feared Stazi and elite troops took control the situations and killed hundreds of protesters in the GDR’s worst ever Cold War massacre. The FRG (W. Germany) officially condemned the crackdown within hours of it happening. A few weeks later Erich Honeker was then quietly retired off against his will and replaced by a new leader who had a phobia to all things democratic. The GDR (E. Germany) has recently started to dabble in low level economic reforms, but it is still a totalitarian, heavily polluted, pro-Soviet police state. Well at least Yemen, Angola, Ethiopia, Hungary and Albania seem to have got rid of their communists, but that is about it.

See if your chosen nation can influence this world: May be take over the entire world, control the world's oil output, prevent the fall of Communism and/or end poverty in sub-Saharan Africa?

There are a couple of other lesser games.

I have added several background pages like the Swiss National Redoubt (1880-2010), RAF Croughton, radar and and the Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base to both aid a seance of realism, to enlighten those who have not lived in the Cold War (I'm 43 years old so I remember Gorby, Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko) and to help point out some lesser OTL/ATL differences that occurred on a more local and national scale that are not listed in the scenario section.

It is an ongoing project, so will be a slow and sumwhat erratic process. It is a labour of love and I hope to add more to it whenever I can. Hopefully make it as complete as I can one day.
