AHC: Conventional WW3

...Probably ASB, but what the hell...

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have a third world war fought with 1980's level technology or higher but almost solely with conventional weapons.

POD, because of the difficulty, may be anywhere after 1900.

No ASBs!
 
Considering every scrap of information we have suggests that Chemical weapons would be used at the onset to disrupt the reinforcement of NATO from CONUS. Would tend to suggest that any non-WMD outcome is basically ASB given the NATO view that any WMD is equivalent to any other ie. you gas us we nuke you.
 
Well if the main theatre of war is in Africa and Middle East with various pro-USA states vs pro-SSSR states with NATO and WP engaging on their soil. The term world war would fit because nations from across the world would engage and if you want you can get naval and arial low intesity clashes across the northern hemisphere if you realy want to make a global war.
