Though I understand why this is posted here and I agree it would make for an interesting series of scenarios, the developer would do well to keep up on current events such as UK for now maintaining an armored presence in Poland for the foreseeable future, the U.S prepositioning armor, artillery and logistics in the Baltic States, Germany and Poland and maintaining at least brigade sized training rotations in those coutries. Germany and France are doing likewise, though to include direct military sales as well. I think there is a general reluctance to allow Russia the opportunity that Germany was given in the mid 1930's when the U.S. was in an isolationist mode, UK wasn't strong enough militarily and France was reluctant to act with the largest army in Europe to stop Nazi Germany in it's earlier aggression's and treaty violations.
I do not compare modern Russian with either Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia, however, the situation is very similar though when you look at Ukraine, over flight territorial incursions and large scale military exercises all along the Russian border with Europe. Right now I'd say we're in a "Cool War" vs. Cold War status. As long as it doesn't turn "hot", it'll be good for the defense industry and our humble game.
