Radiation Dust: Fall of the Soviet Union

Radiation Dust: Fall of the Soviet Union takes place in the 1970s in a parallel universe. U.S.-led NATO countries launched a full-scale nuclear attack against the Soviet Union. This game is not pure fiction but instead based on a real-life battle plan from the US Department of Defense. “Operation Dropshot” was devised in 1949, early in the Cold War, and was declassified in 1975. The plan was to drop 300 nuclear warheads and conduct strategic bombings on 100 cities and 200 targets in the Soviet Union to obliterate 85% of Soviet Union's war making capacity. In this game, one player plays NATO and the other player plays the Warsaw Pact.
