The Cold War Gone Warm [Discussion Thread]

If it was like the modern proposed change, in that the "offensive" actions can only be peacekeeping actions, would that suffice?  Even with their current Constitution Japan could take out many of said countries (with the possible exception of China).

I don't think that if both South Korea and Japan will ever come to blows, seen as they have the United States as a mediator.  Don't get me wrong, most Koreans I know (all from the South) strongly dislike Japan but I think that those two are reasonable enough not to go at it.  In my opinion, it would end in a stalemate.  Both S. Korea and Japan have highly advance militaries just sitting around with (almost) nothing to do.

Most of their other victims have their own problems to deal with, and many can't (or refuse to) work with each other.  For example, North Korea is essentially broke, and has its own problems with South Korea.  Its also too proud to accept aid from China.

In the context of tCWGW, remeber that there is a Civil War going on in Indochina (involving China), and that North and South Korea have never stopped fighting (also partially involving China).  In short, all the other countries have enough to deal with as it is, and can't really afford to stretch themselves any thinner.  

This goes for the US, the UN, and the USSR as well.

May I ask a silly question?

What rules are you pondering using? Is this a strictly d20 Modern setting, or are you going to be working your own mechanics?

As core d20 Modern as possible.  There might be a few minor things here and there, but nothing major.
