    The only thing the US did right in WW2 was storm Normandy so we get a really cool beach map in video games. Operation Market Garden too since that’s a parachute map with bridges.

      Dude if the US had never entered WW2, we’d have a bunch of commie games focused on the soviet campaigns of liberation of Western Europe and the building of the socialist European states.

      So like, double fuck the US.

        Imagine Call of Solidarity 4 set in like 1959. After years of struggle you finally storm 10 Downing Street and drag Churchill (he’s been the war-time leader for the duration of European Liberation Wars, fighting against the USSR through reactionary proxies throughout Europe) out of there kicking and screaming. He asks for his cigars. You hand him a Cuban. He tries to give a rousing speech to cement his final moments in the history books, but everyone just laughs at him until he has a stroke and dies.

          Y’know what, what’s stopping us from doing this now? And honestly, the game should even be called Call of Solidarity (Comradeship?) 4. Make it out to be like an alternative-reality game. As in it came out of a portal to an alternative-reality, not that it’s set in an alternative reality.
