I have decided to try my first timeline. I have mostly a bare bones outline I this point, and I will gladly give contribution credits to anyone whose' ideas advice I use. My scenario is:

  • In 1964 (before Khruschev's fall) the US and USSR begin fighting, shortly thereafter the whole of Western Europe is irradiated, as wells as the US East Coast. This causes the fight to move mostly to the Pacific (i.e. Aleutians, Alaska, SE Asia, Australia etc) and a aversion to further use of nuclear arms.
  • Fighting in the south Pacific is very much like the island hopping of WWII.
  • There is much reliance on allies by both sides, paticularly the Australians and Taiwanese for the Americans and the Vietnamese and North Koreans for the USSR
  • China will stay neutral due to the Sino Soviet split which has been brewing.
What I need help with is....

  • The effect of the loss of Europe on the Soviet military
  • A plausibile casus belli
  • A reason for the war to focus in on the Pacific rather than Africa or the Middle East
Any constructive criticism welcome!
