Operation Red Dawn

About the adventure

Operation Red Dawn is a 5e conversion of the Second-Strike Ghost Ops system along with a lot of homebrews from yours truly. Set in an alternative timeline the US and USSR are once again at odds in 2027 and the previously cold war has now become hot. The year is 2027 and the third world war has started. The mainland United States and Canada have been invaded on all fronts. In the west, China uses a series of tactical air strikes and naval bombardments to begin an invasion of California, to neuter US naval and marine assets, and British Columbia, in hopes of finding an easier route through the almost impassible Rocky Mountains. In the east, the People's Republic of Western Europe consisted of communist puppet governments in France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Southern England, and Western Germany, has used its vast navies and economic power to strike and disable all government assets in the east with New York being flattened by thousands of shells and air strikes daily at the start of the war. All nuclear arsenals have been rendered useless due to Operation Fighting Chance which was led by a joint task force of the remaining 22nd SAS Regiment, Remaining US Green Berets, and other NATO Operators who took an experimental device that released a set of top-secret nano drones that disabled every operational nuclear warhead in the world giving the US and remaining NATO allies a chance to fight back.
