Hi All, first Ill say I am no expert on history, I am a game developer who is trying to hash out some ideas for a alternate history timeline for my game
Recruits.
So, in my research, America joined the Vietnam War to defend the South in an attempt to prevent the spread of Communism, and the war 'ended' due to protest and the fact that the war could not be 'won' (My vague general knowledge of the topic).
For my game, I want to propose an Alternate History where the spread of Communism is a bit more wide spread. For example, Russia/China/North Vietnam being on the offensive and attempting to move into the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and of course south to South Vietnam, Indonesia. Due to this huge offensive by the communist nations the U.S, British and Australian forces must all push back on these communist countries.
Now... I'm sure there are HUGE issues with this scenario being that its pretty much WW3, but can any one see a viable way of anything similar to this happening.
Keeping in mind that this is for a PC Game, I'm not to crazy about the exact logistics, more so having an interesting plausible turn of events. Any help would be appreciated and feel free to let your minds go wild, and put fourth any information you like. Any questions or information I can give, just ask.
