Mods with more hypothetical WW3 scenarios beyond central Europe

[Vittorio43]

I've been playing a lot of the NATO fighters mod and I really appreciate the variety of not just being able to play as not just the Soviets,but also as the East German,Polish and Czechoslovak air forces respectively. I'm just wondering if there's any mod out there that expands upon the Cold war gone hot scenario and includes a hypothetical total war scenario as to include Greek and Turkish forces and subsequently,less'famous'members of the Warsaw Pact such Hungary,Bulgaria or even Romania and Albania. I know of the Crisis in the Med mod but as far as I know that's a strictly US and Soviets only scenario although i might be mistaken

like the overall thinking, but Greece/Turkey vs southern members of the Warpac eventually becomes the big traditional NATO vs Warsaw Pact story. IFit didnt happen immediately, then it would once once side was losing bad enough and called on their superpower patron. 

theirs been folks that have worked on campaigns for the Kurils and Korea, but then dropped out of touched. for a non traditions (tanks rolling down the Fulda Gap) ww3 scenario, you should cast your eye to Asia. Big enough and important enough to ignite the big blow up, but not in Europe.

alternately, the middle east could be another good scenario, especially since it did historically get us close to the edge of nuclear conflict. a campaign that could lead to nuke deployment without ever bringing in the US/USSR in player campaign (just in the win/lose screeen at campaign end)

all suggestions presume that you mean ww3 in the classic, ends with thousands of nuke missiles flying. survivors stay tuned to see if its gonna be Mad Max, Fallout or Threads.....

i mean Threads does get toxic, but man okay... I don't like how my feed is filled with a lot of political stuff honestly as I go there for the authors and stuff. 

Anyway, a lot of scenarios and a lot of maps do exist, and I did try and do a campaign, but I never finished or figured it out, so there's that. But then again nothing is stopping you from learning, as for me I just don't play it enough to care about campaign stuff, I like free flying and the Single Missions and such.

Use the search button and look for "Baltic entrance". You will find my terrain for WoE and Wrenchs mod of it for SF2.

The nations of this terrain are:

[LimitedNationList]
FriendlyNation001=USAF
FriendlyNation002=USN
FriendlyNation003=USMC
FriendlyNation004=Denmark
FriendlyNation005=Norway
FriendlyNation006=Sweden
FriendlyNation007=WGermany
FriendlyNation008=Netherlands
EnemyNation001=Soviet
EnemyNation002=EGermany
EnemyNation003=Poland

I think so, because you confused me obviously.

Mostly just asking since i know most Cold War based WW3 scenarios mainly try to base their campaign on RSR and the idea of a limited but very quick and intense conflict in Central Germany and maybe elsewhere in the Atlantic and further north but barely any scenarios in popular media try to cover what a hypothetical conflict in the Balkans involving arguably two of the most militarily weakest and most'unreliable'members NATO had during the Cold War against equally undertrained and undersupplied members of the Warsaw Pact(at least compared to the levels of elitism expected by the Soviets from East German or Czech units and the generous donations of equipment the Soviets gave them) Asia is definitely interesting though and i'd love to see how the US would've hypothetically shored up such a massive frontline against East Bloc forces seeing as they no doubt be involved in defending the ROC from the PRC,the ROK from the DPRK and Japan from the Soviets at the bare minimum(assuming if it's a pre 1975 scenario or if the Vietnamese wouldn't try to take a neutral stance or something and decided to join in the fray too by threatening Thailand and the Philippines)

In my mind, it would be interesting to have a Poland/Belarus terrain, maybe with Kaliningrad.

There is a lot of potential what-if scenarios.

Unfortunately I don't have the skills to build a terrain.

And to be honest, my to do list is full for months and even for years

I would still vote for the Cold War conflict between China and the Soviet Union. Somewhere far east over the Okhotsk Sea.

This might be a bit off-topic, but I was thinking about the WW3 scenarios currently being devised, they mostly take place on the western coast of the Pacific Ocean, around 2025-2027, and involve a great deal of advanced air and ground technology.

it would be wicked.

but you as much as many other modders know the game limits that restrict modern 21st century warfare. 

not saying its impossible

Use my Kuril Islands terrain as basic. Simply change EnemyNations and FriendlyNations in the nations.ini. Thats it.

Do you mean something like this:

I started this terrains years ago as a WW2 scenario. It covers Poland, East Germany, western parts of Belarus and Ukraine, Latvia and Lithuania, and southern Sweden.

Indeed, I like that terrain, and I am using it. Although in Japan vs. Soviet mod. Little too far for the Chinese fleet there. Maybe a little updated Kamchatka could do the trick. 

Another thing is, I am not going to play with terrains, target areas, and all that terraforming stuff. Not that I do not know how. I am just too lazy a..hole who prefers to download ready stuff.

Yes exactly
