Hello everybody,
In this update I'm going to tell you about some of Global Consequences events. I noted in my previous update that the event "Global shoot" has helped me to win my game.
Today I'm going to tell you something "Unthinkable". Here is Wiki link for those who forgot what it is - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unthinkable
"Operation Unthinkable was a code name of two related plans of a conflict between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union. The plannings were ordered by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1945 and developed by the British Armed Forces' Joint Planning Staff at the end of World War II in Europe."
In my game I played President Kennedy and it was my great luck I had five events to my favor ( you can see five icons on the top left side of the screen ). One of the event is "Unthinkable". This event started wars in all Soviet countries in Europe and my alliance military invaded to them ( without taking it from my country military pool ). So, Soviet Union had a hard time fighting this "Unthinkable" war in Europe in the middle of 1955.
Some of you may ask me - "What has happened with Hungary, why it is blue on the map?". The answer is simple, here it is - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956
Hungarian revolution was another Global Consequence event that happened to my(American) favor in this game. When revolution happened I managed to provide them some more of my "support" and Hungary "decided" to join my alliance. Everything was honest and democratic ( khm khm ).
This why Hungary avoided this global "Unthinkable" mess in Europe. It wasn't part of the Soviets at the time when global war started.
Next week I'm going to tell you the story about "Crisis of the Elites" which happened in USSR in one of my test games.
Stay tuned!
P.S. Play The Cold War Era while waiting for Arms Race!
