The Enduring Contest: USA (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) and USSR (Agent007ki) Wage War of Attrition
For 2 consecutive years, combat formations of USA (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) and USSR (Agent007ki) have traded artillery salvos in an unrelenting conflict that recognizes neither compromise nor armistice. Artillery barrels have worn out their rifling while diplomats repeat identical accusations. Foreign embassies double-staffed their teletype rooms to analyze the fallout on the regional balance of power. 'Behind all the ideology and rhetoric lies the cold calculus of rail heads and oil pipelines,' remarked an economic observer.
With 14 sectors recorded in its strategic registry, USSR (Agent007ki) has established itself as the leading power of the epoch, 4 sectors shy of conclusive dominance. Its armored divisions are well-supplied and its air defenses heavily reinforced against hostile coalitions. Shortwave radio intercepts recorded by coastal radar stations confirm that envoys from smaller non-aligned nations crowd the corridors of the foreign ministry. Radio propaganda stations broadcast identical claims of overwhelming victory at the very same hour.
