Nuke the Winter

So we've written The Great Nuclear War of 1975 through to the autumn of 1976.  We can see where we'll need to ad maybe half a dozen scenes to flesh things out. Getting to spring '77 is the goal. The question is how we get there.

We've been considering a subplot where Mexico invades the United States, with the encouragement of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. It'd be a real half-assed affair. We wonder if we should bother, as we already did the Second Korean War. That said, it might be the overall story for the winter of 1976-77.

Haig could be recalled to manage the war. There'd be a battle of the Salton Sea, or some such. Maybe we'd bomb the Soviet Embassy, Arclight the hell out of Mexico City just to be jerks.

We'll see.
