Okay... right...

Apparently, it's historical... But... I can't help but feeling they've missed the point of "Cold War" here... y'know, no fighting and that stuff.

A "Cold" War, is a war in which every other diplomatic and economic method is implimented EXCEPT actual combat, so what they've done is just... well, exactly the same storyline as Red Alert, except Hitler isn't killed.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but in C&C Red Alert, the only reason the Soviet Union is able to wage war on the "Imperialistic Capitalists" is because Hitler was never there to invade Russia, and destroy half the country.

(Fact to the slow: The cold war had been going on since 1921, when the Bolshevik "reds" defeated the Tsarist "whites")

Anyway, they go to war.

But in "World in Conflict", Hitler is still there, so I'm a wondering, how did the Soviet Union get teh strength up? Because in a game they'd never show the US to be the aggressors, only the defenders. (They sent HUGE amounts of military aid into russia during the revolution and killed many civilians), so where'd this hidden strength come from?

I'm a-thinking they haven't thought this through too well.
