1980s Communist Invasion of US [Strange Maps]

Post by casper »

Came across this on the awesome Strange Maps website. It's a map found in a Yugoslavian atlas detailing a late 1980s communist invasion of a weakened United States. Please read through the text and comments at the link below for more info on what it's all about....

Someone even made this comment about the map. :)

"Maybe it wasn’t a textbook atlas…

Just a really elaborate guide to a board game…

Perhaps if you recast it as an objective map with Siege-like setup. Hold Washington D.C. for a turn and you win, or something like that.

Looks like the Soviet stratagy in the movie Red Dawn. Could be a pretty interesting map, but will need creativity and a lot of work.
