^
^The Cold War between the Communist and Democratic nations has been in full swing for almost two
^decades. In Southeast Asia, the American "police action" in Vietnam futilly attempts to check the
^spread of Communism. That conflict, however, is detailed fully in another scenario by the author
^of this one that's coming soon. The conflict in this scenario covers the surrounding Cold War 
^events in the rest of East Asia and the Pacific. You may play as the Soviets (controlling Siberia
^and the Asiatic Republics plus their puppet state of Mongolia) and attempt to dominate politics
^in the region to perpetrate the spread of Communism. You may try the Japanese, though they're not
^recommended as they're wealthy but not too powerful (though if left alone long enough, they could
^build a sizeable force). The North Koreans may seek to finish the Korean War goal and annex South
^Korea, despite the American presence there. The Commonwealth of Nations (controlling Western Canada,
^Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, New Ireland, New Britain, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Fiji, Hong
^Kong, Singapore, Bangledesh, and Sri Lanka, as well as their allies France {through the Solomon
^Islands and French Polynesia}, Portugal {through Macao} and Napal) and the Americans (including the
^Western United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, the Mariana and Marshall Islands, and American Samoa,
^and, through close ties and the Americans' protection, Northwestern Mexico, Taiwan, and South Korea)
^begin allied and generally opposed to the spread of Communism. The Chinese are Communist, though
^unfriendly to both the Soviets and the two Western players, and they seek consolidation. The Indians,
^though technically a Commonwealth country, are friendly (though not allied) to the Soviets. Also, the
^Philippines and Indonesia are both under volatile regimes (Indonesia's even left the United Nations)
^and thus are barbarian states.
