World War IV (TheTasmanianDevil)

World War IV was a global crisis in the 21st century. Caused by rising forces in the east; PATO and OHT invading and forcing crippled countries in the Middle East and South East to join their 'peace treaties'. NATO and the North American Alliance join together to try to stamp out PATO and OHT forces, hoping they can defeat them before nuclear strikes begin in Northern Asia.
