Yes, I actually played this a few times back in high school. What I remember is a fairly unremarkable rules set that was brought to life with scenarios that we could all actually imagine ourselves playing in.
Not surprisingly, there's no CSW forum, as this was more of an RPG-with-counters than a true wargame. And it's looooong out of print, but you can find a host of related products over at Noble Knight Games.

** OK, OK, the game came before the TV mini-series. You got us. It was probably more Red Dawn-inspired than anything. But hey, how often do you get to drop a reference to Amerika? C'mon! Robert Urich as the President of Heartland? George C. Scott as the stalwart patriot? It was cheerily awesome, baby!

I've always been curious about this - the boardgame part, not the RPG part. Copies have always eluded my languid grasp, though.
