About WiC: World in Conflict presents a chillingly authentic Cold War scenario created by best-selling author Larry Bond -- the year is 1989, and the Soviets, fearing certain collapse, boldly attack Europe. NATO responds in force only to be met on a second front -- a full-fledged invasion of the American homeland. Players take on the role of field commander, leading the era’s most powerful military machines in the campaign to retake America’s cities and suburbs.
