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.
