We'll face off with them......what do you mean what will we do?



I dunno though can the 90's kids handle the Russians?..Serious question....
Remember you need 24-26 or so to even really remember the reality of the USSR and thats the tail end Gorbasm(remember that term? ) years...which where unreal. Imagine Breshnev and the Russians flexing at this time period...yeah I'd be scared for Alaska would be handed back.

I grew up with an ideological movement the equivlant of the Nazis in many ways with an empire to match and thousands of nuclear weapons 30 minutes away......there used to be over 100 Soviet divisons poised to invade West Germany.....kids today have no idea what that was like.

Ok Grond..because you asked...
Sept 1918-July 1919 Archangel.


I don't know if they gave lofty names to the fights..but I'm sure theres some battles in there if you look hard enough..and the Americans won.


There was another force that landed in Vladivostok and operated in Siberia..but you only wanted one


Post 1919 other then maybe some air battles nope we didn't win any ..as you never fought and in the end lost your entire empire barring the Czarist expansion to the east with a whimper.

Here I found some info on it at wikipedia and a picture of th eoutcome and a description of a "battle"for you
