If I wrote a conventional WWIII story, it’d probably be in…. Southern Europe. In a comment on a post depicting said theater in the WWIII 1987 TL, I described it as “an uncomfortable sideshow in rough terrain”, similar to the Italian front in World War II.
It’s not in spite of but because of this that the setting appeals to me.
- It’s different and I like less-traveled locations.
- It means I can slow the battles down, thanks to the terrain and the lower-tier forces. The CentFront is a little too er, fast. Not to mention deadly.
Southern Europe is actually a good idea. Yugoslavia, the Dardanelles, and Eastern Med offer some interesting, and realistic possibilities.
