September 17th, 1989: A peaceful September morning is suddenly shattered when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics launches a massive surprise attack against the United States of America with conventional and nuclear forces. Soviet and East German paratroopers, under the disguise of commercial flights, invaded the United States and seized control of several key mountain passes in the Rockies. Cuban and Russian agents who came up illegal from Mexico infiltrated the Strategic Air Command (SAC) bases in the Midwest and Texas. Soviet nuclear strikes took out the ICBM silos in the Dakotas and Wyoming as well as key points of communication. Washington, D.C., Omaha, and Kansas City were obliterated with the death toll reaching well over ten million. The U.S. ballistic missile submarine force launched a nuclear retaliatory attack against the Soviet Union, inflicting similar damage to the country. Soviet cities destroyed included Minsk, Kazan, and Archangel; Moscow was saved from destruction by its ABM defense system. Veracruz Coalition troops poured across the US-Mexico border; the invading forces occupied Texas and pushed northward into the Great Plains. Three Soviet army groups crossed the Bering Strait into Alaska; the Russians cut the oil pipelines and moved on Anchorage.

The Chinese Federation declared war on the Soviet Union and launched an invasion of Siberia. Chinese military forces occupied several disputed sedimentary islands at the confluence of the Ussuri and Amur rivers, including Bolshoy Ussuriyskiy Island. The Soviets responded by launching a massive nuclear attack against the Chinese. Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, and several other Chinese cities were destroyed. China managed to hit the Soviets back with the few missiles which weren't destroyed on the ground. Despite this, it was clear that China suffered greater damage from the nuclear exchange then the Soviet Union. Roughly 200 million Chinese citizens had lost their lives; 200 million would perish over the following weeks. The Chinese invasion of the Soviet Union quickly ground to a halt due to tactical nuclear missile attacks. Soviet reinforcements arrived and pushed the invaders back across the border into Manchuria. The Chinese went on the defensive as Soviet, Mongolian, and Vietnamese troops invaded. India, a non-communist ally of the Soviet Union, invaded China from the south.

In response to the surprise attack on the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada declared war on the Soviet Union. The British Royal Navy and Air Force mobilized for combat operations. Moving to attack the United Kingdom was a massive Warsaw Pact naval task force which consisted of warships from the Soviet Baltic and Northern Fleets as well as the East German Navy. Air and naval battles took place in the waters surrounding the United Kingdom. The Royal Navy put up a valiant fight and managed to sink several Warsaw Pact warships. However, the Soviet Navy was eventually able to cut the United Kingdom off from the rest of the world. Argentina took advantage of the situation by invading and occupying the Falkland Islands once again.

America's former NATO allies declared a state of neutrality in the conflict, feeling that twice in one century was enough. To maintain their non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, France prohibited any country at war with the Soviet Union from entering their airspace or territorial waters.

The surprise invasion of the United States had taken the NATO Remnant completely off guard. For months it was apparent that the Soviet Union had planned to attack the United Kingdom. The Army III Corps had been deployed to the United Kingdom in the hopes to deter the impending attack. However, it was now clear that the NATO Remnant had fallen victim to an elaborate Soviet ruse. With the Warsaw Pact blockade of the United Kingdom, the US Army and Marine forces stationed in Great Britain and Northern Ireland were completely cut off from the United States. Due to the North Korean invasion of South Korea, the Army I Corps was unable to return home either.

Soviet and Veracruz Coalition forces continued their campaign in the United States. Veracruz Coalition armored units marched as far north as Cheyenne, Wyoming after which they moved on Kansas. Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas, and Colorado were occupied by Veracruz Coalition forces. The US military was able to hold the line at the Rocky Mountains in the West and the Mississippi in the east. Veracruz Coalition military forces also occupied San Diego; the 1st Marine Division based in Camp Pendleton was able to halt further advances into California. To the north, the Soviets had secured control over Alaska and invaded Canada. Western Canada fell to the Soviet onslaught. The Soviets pushed into the United States from the north to link up with Veracruz Coalition forces to the south and split America in two. However, the US military was able to halt the Soviet advance and prevent the linkup.

Veracruz Coalition forces also had to contend with a growing number of insurgents throughout the occupied territory. The most prominent guerrilla unit was the Wolverines which operated in the Arapaho National Forest outside of Calumet, Colorado.

The guerrillas primarily targeted Soviet supply convoys and lightly defended outposts. The attacks greatly impacted logistical support to the troops fighting on the front and morale among the occupying forces began to drop. This in part contributed to the inability of the Veracruz Coalition forces to make further significant advances into the country.

1990: The Battle of the Arapaho National Forest, aka Wolverine War, ended in February when Veracruz Coalition forces had wiped out the Wolverine Resistance cell; at the time it was unknown that two members were able to escape the occupied zone. Morale greatly increased among the Soviet and Veracruz Coalition ranks. Once relief reinforcements arrived, the soldiers who had taken part in the defeat of the Wolverines were flown to Moscow. General Vladimir Soshkin personally congratulated the soldiers on a job well done, declared them Heroes of the Soviet Union, and invited them to attend the ceremony in which Volgograd was renamed back to Stalingrad.
