Scenario Description: Shadow of the Bear
As the Cold War heated up in the late 1950′s, what would have been the fallout if a nuclear exchange had occurred between the United States and the USSR? Perhaps it would have given China a chance to emerge from the Shadow of the Bear. Start the game as China just before a nuclear exchange between the US and USSR.
