Alternate History Strategy (not idle!) covering 1955 to 1975:
- fully militarized space race between the USA and the USSR, instead of NASA vs OKBs, space is conquered by the US Navy and the Red Air Force
- you fund programs, launch ships, and then manage them on various orbital planes, in the context of wider strategic presence and more tactical missions, protecting own partners and attacking opposite partners
- inevitably, this space Cold War starts turning hot, single skirmishes lead to larger battles until a general orbital war defines the victor
(Vibecoded prototype just for private fun)
Cold War takes to the space and goes hot
