Cold War will never end, only one Super Power must survive.
This will not be complete AAR following the dates etc... I will post here the screens and the military strategies I used in the current game.
Well its my first AAR, so I will try to do as good as I can.
July 15th 2011
This is the day I came to rule Russia, the day I swear to do the best for the Russian people, serve them, defend them, and restore the glory of Russia once and forever.
I was asked to come to the secret meeting with KGB chef, that was very important to give me information about present situation and future development. He told me the situation is very serious, the Cold War was never finished, both sides (USA and Russia) know that we cannot be friends, even if both sides are "trying" to make stronger relations, we are never coming to a single agreement. All of this meetings are just mask for the press and for people, this is just midway of the Cold War, a short break. Cold war is over just for the people who don't need to know about it, the "time out" was just because noone could win that war. It was no sense. But tensions keep on growing, NATO country's influenced by USA keep pushing us from the west, South Korea and Japan is aggressive from the East, and USA begun to prepare for the World War now as they are in serious economic problem, we need to help them to crash their economy to the dust. Wars will happen, you cant avoid them, prepare for the defense, and counter, prepare for the "Greatest War In History".
Next day I meet with defense minister to ask about our military situation, he said our military is very strong, but he is not sure if we can stand against combined NATO forces, and agression from the east, we need some more strategical alliances.
We are currently allied with:
Abkhazia
Armenia
Belarus
Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan
PRC (China)
Serbia
South Ossetia
Tajikistan
Uzbekistan
2011-07-17
Few alliances have been formed between Russia and Ukraine, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Norway, Sweden.
Same day USA declared war on Cuba.
We should help them i said.
We are not ready yet - answered defense minister, casualties will be unbelievable, they will pay for that, they want us to attack now, that's the reason why they attack Cuba straight after we form an alliance. We are not ready.
2011-07-27
Georgia declare war on South Ossetia.
Russia declare war on Georgia.
2011-08-05
Georgia eliminated.
2011-09-18
Many things changed in this time. South Korea captured North Korea and declare war on Russia. We was holding defensive positions on the borders, none of the sides made any territorial advance,
but we manage to bomb S.Korean Forces heavily with artillery.
2012-01-24
As soon as we cleared S.Korea forces from the way and started to move on, China declares war on S.Korea and taking them over.
Cuba surrenders to USA.
Azerbaijan declared war on Russia.
Azerbaijan falls just in a few weeks.
2013-07-19
That was one year of piece in our country, growth in economy, increased research spendings.
But USA dont rest, they keep preparing for the war way too much, they are running out of money, so doesn't matter how many military fabrications they will have if they will not have money to build anything, plus they lost a lot of their naval forces in Libya so they are not a thread for us now.
2013-08-01
Thats a serious war for us, our skills and military effectiveness will be tested here.
We need to deploy the best of our leg infantry, and transport aircraft for air invasion, capture north island and bring heavy artillery there, clear what we can from north Japan and assault.
2013-10-22
In almost 3 months we managed to mobilize, capture the first island and bring artillery on the island. Resistance wasn't strong.
Mobile Long Range artillery bought from China works well in that case, not so powerful, but effective.
2013-12-08
Less than 2 months of bombing with almost no resistance and there is not much left, time to move on.
2014-01-21
Operation was successful, after some resistance we captured some cities with barracks and airfields, now we can repair our units... Anyway some more support is coming, going for the capital soon.
2014-01-29
2014-02-11
Assaulting Tokyo, holding the flanks secured.
2014-03-28
We captured Tokyo, but they move the capital to Osaka, dont stop, keep moving.
The last battle report before Japan eliminated (this is war nr5 for me)

The next year was peaceful with no surprises, we straighten our international reputation, balanced the economy, improved in science. Now we have 100% of communications and reconnaissance satellite coverage. The next goal was free passage to Mediterranean Sea, Negotiations with Turkey bring us to dead end.
We need that passage at any cost.
USA till that time was where we was expecting them to be - bankrupt. Good for us.
2015-05-13
Russia declare war on Turkey
2015-05-31
Going straight to the capital, following the main road, patrolling supply lines.
Ankara surrendered, they move their capital to Istanbul.
3 weeks later:

One year past since my last note in my diary. Some things was changed, we build the roads all the way from Moscow till Kamchatka, there was few meetings with Baltic leaders - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, it seems like all of them are doing the same thing, they are asking for compensation for soviet "occupation" during WW2... Well how many times I told them and they dont get it, they need to read more history books. What is occupation? We didnt occupy you, the territories was given to us by signing Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany, and in addition you gave us your territories in exchange for the stationing of 20,000 Soviet troops within Lithuania, so we can protect you from whatether happens, and you can sleep without being afraid. So we was protecting you and now you ask money for it? Its you who have to pay to us... Negotiatings didnt bring us anywhere.
2016-11-06
Again I didnt have time for my diary, it was very busy time, few weeks after unsuccessful negotiations with Estonia, they declare war on us, Estonia! What was they thinking about, looks like they decide to join Russia again.
War in Afghanistan started again in that period, but finally we manage to capture them.

Seems like Im forgetting about you - my diary, Im speaking with you just when I have to release myself. Thousands of people die because of me, I feel the power in my hands and I cant stop myself, God forgive me for my actions.
We have researched "Missile Defense Satellites" started to build them.
Western Sahara was spreading massive propaganda around the world against Russian spread of influence and gain of power, rumors against me and my family, they think they are far enough so we cant get them, they was wrong, we need to shut them up.
2018-05-03
Just after Western Sahara falls, Finland declare war on us, their forces was strong, so I pull more support to Finland, as support arrived to Finland, Israel declares war on Russia, they started strong, I wasn't ready for that war, in just few days they came till Malatya (Turkey), and most of my army was in Finland. I had to call half of them back, because I didnt have enough army in Turkey to hold them. I had to find a fast solution, pulled all of my bombers on Israel, they retreat for repairs, then I started to bomb their military complexes with sub launch American UGM-96 Trident II-C missiles. Just After that Iraq and Bulgaria declares war on Russia, It was a big battles...
Israel before:
Israel after:
So I destroyed all of their military production, and even all of the barracks, they couldnt repair, they couldnt hold long.
As Finland falls I concentrated on Israel, Bulgaria and Iraq.
2018-06-21
2 Months later we was dealing only with Iraq, they kept moving the capital from one to another city.
2018-07-07
Finally the war was over... for a while

As we expand our borders, we captured a lot of territory with US "piece-keepers" in there, and now they are stuck on our land and don't want to leave, we was telling them to move their army away from Russia, but they say they lost too many transport ships to bring them back, they dont have transit treaties with bordering countrys where they can move, but they dont have transit treaty with Russia as-well, they said just need to wait, well I waited for years already, how much do you think I can wait more?
We need to act.
Map with US forces locations on Russia's territory:
2019-08-14
We cannot hold it any longer, today is the day when the greatest war begins, there is no way back, first of all we have to get them out from our territory and prepare for attacking them in their homeland, that will not be easy, sooner or later this must happen, and now we are ready.
2019-09-05
US forces eliminated from our territory and our borders.
Prepare for naval invasion, we need tanks, motorized infantry, leg infantry, engineers, anti air and artillery in transport ships, escorted with submarines, destroyers and carriers with best multi role fighters, also I want fighters, bombers, patrol aircraft, tankers and transport aircraft to be prepared.
Deploy nuclear submarines, we will bomb their military fabrication facilities, no not with nukes, just do it.
2019-11-14
It took 2 months for us to get all the units and load in to transport, but now we are on the way.
2019-11-15
Our first recon report from Honolulu islands, unfortunately they destroyed the plane, need to send another type.

Our units are now in Mexico, artillery is bombing US forces located east from our forces, and submarines keep bombing US military fabrications and their gas fields, if we cut their petrol supplies they will no be able to counter attack when we launch full scale attack. (I really thought so...)
2020-03-30
Latvia declare war on Russia to show their support to USA and maybe draw our attention...
2020-04-01
Greece declare war on Russia for the same reasons.

We cleared Mexico from US forces, we are ready to attack now, we have some casualties and some of our vehicles need repairs, we have no way back from here, we need to capture some land, build our bases in there and secure them from counter attacking.
We will respect the mourning date for USA, today everybody get rest, because from tomorrow you will really need it.
This battle will not be easy, this will be the biggest battle of 21st century, many soldiers will die, they are defending their homeland, so dont expect them to give up.
My battlegroup combined force strength.
USA military standing now.
USA petroleum production
Land units organization.

I was expecting them to not be able to move and counter attack so strong as they dont have petrol, but they get support from UN.
Still their movements have to be limited as they are far away from demand

Finally they gave us a brake, our men didnt sleep 8 days, we lost a lot of units, but we captured the objective, we need to maintain this positions, we will build 3 military fortress right here with barracks, land fabrications, air field, air fabrications, advanced radar and air defense facilities, so we need to maintain this positions at any cost, backup will not come soon, all transport ships are just leaving from Mexico now, we are allmost out of air support, most of aircraft need repairs, just strategical bombers will support us time to time, now we have to rely only on ourselves.
2020-09-24
They counter attack
We will not hold that attack with no air support and bombers we have are not enough, luckily we got presidents permission to us all available missiles, our chances increase.
2020-09-26
2020-09-29
They retreat, now we are out of missiles aswell, but special forces arrived, we will build defensive wall with them, hope they can hold it. Helicopters cannot bring them directly on positions, so we need to wait...
2020-10-04
2020-10-10
Special forces doing a great job, now our barracks are finished, send the most damaged units for repairs.

Re: Russia - Cold War Round 2 (Modetn Day Campaign)
That's where I am currently in the game, so updates will not come so often, and I'm really tired to write AAR already, better less and just few times or once a week, without so much details, but I was really impressed from that battle, that was the best battle I ever had in sr2020 and after that battle I decide to write AAR. Till the last moment I didnt know if my forces will hold, but we made it!
EDIT: Well well, nice to see strategy work, USA units are just stuck without petrol, they cant even get till the nearest barracks, finally they run out of reserves
