World in Conflict

[Chengar Qordath]

I suppose this qualifies as an alternate history game since it involves the Soviet Union deciding to lauch World War 3 in 1989 in a bid to save their tottering empire. Seems like a fun RTS game so far, though the scenario of the Soviets managing to launch a sneak-invasion of the US is a bit far-fetched.

There's a thread about it halfway down the page in this forum.

And it's much more plausibly written than it could be. There are ridiculous parts; New York mission is so dumb they have a ingame Ranger officer say it's insane, and there's a guy counterattacking a Sov-held Burger King holding a US flag in an early intro (does he think he's Captain America?). However, they put in enough stuff that makes sense to get you to suspend your disbelief. I particularly liked the reasoning behind the Fort Teller campaign and the last ~3 missions.
