ICBM: Escalation Endless October

ICBM: Escalation Endless October is an alternate-history DLC for ICBM: Escalation. In this timeline, the Soviet Union emerges from the Second World War stronger and more ruthless, consolidates into a stable superstate and seeks to reshape the world through diplomacy, domination or nuclear war.

A longer Cold War

The campaign begins in 1950, five years after the end of the Great Patriotic War. The USSR detonated its first nuclear bomb four years after the United States, and Korea becomes the first major flashpoint in a global struggle that lasts for decades. You command the Soviet Union, forge alliances, provoke conflicts and attack capitalist enemies as you seek to raise the Red Banner over every continent.
