I've seen recommendations around before, but not having much luck with the search function. So I've played Crisis in the Kremlin and while I can't seem to win, I do like the tone/era. I'm wondering if anyone has specific recommendations for any rts or tbs games with late cold war era USSR as playable? Could be modern or old PC like the original Crisis game was or Red Alert, thanks.

      Still kinda bothered that the nation that was settled by a zebra slave revolt doesn't end up communist if you take the anti-imperialist or anarchist routes. There's 4 paths/leaders where every decision is basically "Liberalize", "Encourage class collaboration", "Abolish the state right now" or "Oppress the bourgeois" until you get that leader, but each path still ends in Harmony/liberalism.

      Other than Stalliongrad, I can't think of another country that would be more inclined to send military expeditions to help other ponies liberate themselves or have to defend themselves from harmonist monarchies and republics who feel threatened by their existence.

            OK, so you know Hearts of Iron, that spreadsheet game that's basically WWII fanfiction expressed in the form of painting maps?

            Imagine that, but My Little Pony.
