Talk:Soviet Invasion

Hmmm.... when the soviet takeover threat begins to appear serious in 1990, president kennedy orders the entire arsenal of small arms distributed throughout america. When the soviets arrive, they face a prolonged and bitter guerilla insurgency throughout the appachalian mountains in the east, and the rockies in the west, as well as sporadic urban attacks by insurgents. Thanks to the soviets' tight control of information, little news of such attacks passes around. The soviets respond to the insurgency with "scorched earth" tactics, nuclear weapons attacks on mountain guerilla strongholds, and a powerful propaganda campaign to capture "hearts and minds" and raise a "citizens' army" to take up the fight against the rebels of "free america" (or the "enemies of the people"). The battle is long and bitter, and both sides suffer heavy casualties.

What happens next? Do the insurgents succeed in exporting their rebellion to russia proper? Do nuclear weapons prove useful against insurgents? Or, as the saying goes "when total nuclear devastation strikes us all, cockaroaches will continue to look over the ruins of humanity"?
