Terrain made last night

A little spaceport on a heavy forested continent.


Two mining vehicles bring their load to the spaceport.

SSSRK light grav tanks guard the gate.

Recently the spaceport got a new MIG-99 for defence.

The New Economic Plan

The New Economic Plan, the NEP, is used by the Soviet Government to run the economy. Linked with a super AI, nicknamed Lyuba, the NEP provides every factory, every farm, every worker, with the data needed to work as efficient as possible.

For me the NEP is the plan of what I'm going to do with Tommorow's War. The first two orders are in: Tommorow's War by Ambush Alley Games, and two little grav tanks by Ground Zero Games.

What follows are some organisation charts for the SSSRK.

"Trooper fully charged!"



Khurasan's announcement about their new models made me very happy. In Red Alert the Tesla Troopers was one of my favorite unit, and now I have the means to field them in Tomorrow's War. The new Earthdoom Corsair suits are perfect for the job. I'll be getting four of the Scout suits!

Mars, the Red Planet


Terraformed Mars, the main territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of the Cosmos

"Mars, The Red Planet.
For millennia men had watched the red planet, and dreamed of colonising the planet. It was thought, in the beginning of the 21th century, that it would be Europe, or the United States of America, that would send the first mission to Mars. It were, however, we who send the first man to Mars."

From: The Official History of the People Volume III: The Red Planet

Mars is the main planet of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of the Cosmos. Terra forming is still not completed, and man can not walk the surface of the planet without oxygen mask. However, the planet is mostly colonized now, and the big Red Factories, formerly operating on Earth, have been moved to the new capital planet of Communism, taking with it a large part of the working population.
