The Battle of Fort MacLeod, Alberta October, 1985

 In what should sound like a battle a hundred years earlier, the Cold War has swept into North America. 

Soviet forces have charged through British Columbia and are intent on charging down into Montana.

As Fort MacLeod is a major transport hub, the allies have decided to make a stand.

Canadian Forces are made up of Alberta Militia area troops supported by the British from BATUS and West Germans in their training areas.

The US has also sent up a cavalry force to try and stop the Soviet advance.
