USSR and there allies attack USA

Hi this al history is about USSR and there Red allies in this Earth this take place modern timeframe and Red Russia and there allies are more united and stronger then in our world,


Now also Canada in this world is alot stronger in it's armed, naval and air forces as well. The Arrow flew and was adopted into the airforce, also Mr Bull built his superguns here in Canada not in Irag.


The story is about Red Army invading and keeping the USA, the main character is a Canadian writer who caught in issue one in New York during the invasion of Red Army, second issue is one month later under Russian rule and he becomes relutant american rebel.


This idea is inspired by Freedom Fighters PS2 game, Red Dawn movie, and world in conflict PC game.


What I need help with is figuring out this world?,

Sadly for your story its near ASB for any power to manage to occupy the U.S. during the 20th century. Americans are scared to death about a mainland attack especially early WW2 and then Nuclear and conventional invasions of the U.S. Also we have enough gun crazies in the U.S. to make Iraq look like a brushfire. Where I live almost every family have at least 10-20 guns somewhere in their house.
 
That's why it's called alt history, this comic idea was inspired by Freedom Fighters PS2 game and Red Dawn.


In this setting such as Freedom Fighters game Red Army was alot stronger in this version due to dropping the Atomic Bomb first, what this version of Earth hings on is the simple fact that Canada various armed force weren't shrak after WW2. The Arrow was created as are own jet to counter Russian Jet fighter of that timeframe, Mr Bull made the missles for that plane later he would be known for trying to create a supergun in the middle east.

In 1989 in our world the Berlin Wall came down and Germany was united as the West as the force but what if it was the East as the uniter, also Red Army war in Afganistan was won not lost in our world. I also am reading Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy, it's bin given me some ideas,


Now the strongest armed forces is Canada followed by the USA, Mexico is still a push over and in this world is Red. Most of south america is Red too due to help from Cuba, which still has missles on it,


This War and occupation of the USA is so that the Red Army can get at the ceral crops and oil, Ivan always had a problem with farming and drilling for oil.

the rebels are based in New York sewer system, like in the PS2 game it's straight from modern day urban warefare tatics.

Yes it is alt history, but you have to make it somewhat plausible. For example you can't just make it so that Operation Mammal That Shall Not Be Named succeded. The ASB section was made so that members can write impossible stuff in the real world. Making Canada the strongest military force in the real world, the Soviet Union magically created a nuke before everyone else, and Soviet Union occupying the entire US. Give us a reasonable explanation of how all of this happen. Also making your alt history story with help from video games is not real convincing.
 
I see...so the Canadian armed forces are larger than those of the US?

Sorry, you just earned an F.

While you do get extra points for plausibility there are some alternate history stories that are enjoyable despite the lack of this.

I'm not encouraging ASBness I'm just saying that when you get down to it its the story that counts.

Agreed, but there needs to be a decent story for it to be enjoyable.
Some hand-wavium, deus-ex-machina "commies are stronger TTL, US weaker" isn't going to cut it.
 
Hi Iwhitehead instead of having an more powerful USSR as your main antagonists, how about a Communist America taking the role of the villian? With its agressive and hostile neighbor in the south Canada is forced to build up its Army so that it doesn't end up as another El Bannano.

I know its not what you were aiming for but an AH writer sould be open-minded.
 
All right how about Korea is united but under Red control, in this world since WW2 when Russia exploded the A Bomb first and America second, America may have defeated the Japanese but it was the Russian who defated the Nazis in WW2.



Now the 50's were time of American bluster and CIA's blowback, and Canadian knowhow. In this world Canadian's had a stronger say about NATO and Norad, for example Canada this time around didn't get missles full of sand bags. In the 50's CIA back some coups down in South America like in the nation that starts with A and ends with A, in this timeframe that failed.

The Korea War failing lead to Vietnam in the 60's also the US lost as well,

What I'm trying to do is create an alt history comic intitled Amerika, one were in current timrframe the USSR attackes and ocupises the USA as a USSR state which is chopped inot differant areas of control. The comic is about the American rebels fighting for home and nation,


this setting goes alway back to WW2, were USSR came out stronger then the USA in our world, and I could use some help on this please.
