Fulda Gap, yawn. Go East, young man.

Winter 2008: a series of bizarre and seemingly inconsequential incidents abruptly triggers a second Korean war. During a 4 hour exchange expending more firepower than all previous wars combined, several thousand GIs -- and half a million ROK soldiers and civilians -- are killed or mortally wounded by crude but effective nuclear artillery. Much of Seoul is also devastated by a savage nuclear, chemical and conventional bombardment before the DPRK fortifications and armies along the DMZ are vaporized, together with much of its command net, by US counterstrikes that have been carefully planned for some 60 years. These include "surgical" nuclear attacks on hardened command centers that cause enormous collateral damage to the Pyongyang metro region and create significant nuclear fallout.

As surprised as anyone by this turn of events, China, the only power with sufficient ground forces to invade and secure the DPRK within 30 days, delays and prevaricates (partly to gain time to mobilize). Desperate to forestall further nuclear attacks, the US meanwhile throws the proverbial air power kitchen sink at the North, including upper atmosphere EMP attacks that heavily damage portions of Manchuria (whence media reports of fallout and panicked refugees are already emerging) as well as parts of the Russian Far East, South Korea and Japan.

With the DPRK regime fallen eerily silent, and an estimated 60% of the North Korean populace already killed, injured or in radiation-affected areas, jaded world opinion turns quickly against the "overreaction" of the American "nuclear cowboys". Beiing finds itself under strong domestic pressure not just to restore order in the Koreas but to eject the roundeyes once and for all from the Asian mainland. At the same time, US Navy, Marine and Army Airborne units deploy to chaotic South Korea by air and sea, while Russian airborne forces reinforce frontier positions along the Amur river.

You fill in the rest....
