The Invasion That Never Was



A posting from Ptak Science Books revisits a 1935 article in Forbes magazine about possible objectives, axes of advance, and so forth for an invasion of the mainland US in that era.

Makes you nostalgic for Milton-Bradley's old Fortress America game, doesn't it?

  1. In 2001 I designed War Plan Crimson, a game about the USA invading Canada in the late 1930s (and named after the actual plan to do just that, hypothetically). Later someone made an expansion kit for the game called "Defence Scheme No. 1", the even more hypothetical Canadian plan to do a spoiling attack on the United States to derail the invasion!
