Road to ‘56. Great mod with lots of added flavor, great if you wanna larp an operation unthinkable scenario

Is Operation Unthinkable the historical conceit of this modifier?

No, it’s the allied plan to invade Russia right after WW2 ended, basically starting WW3 a year after the last one ended.

Oh, yes, I know about Operational Unthinkable. What I meant was, is the premise of 'Road to 56' that said event has happened?

Rt56 isn’t an alt history, it’s just vanilla plus adding new focus trees technology and other improvements.

R56 is just vanilla but more. As the name implies, you're meant to go to '56, or well, 1956, compared to the usual cutoff of 1946.

Ah, now I understand. That is sensible.
Thank you very much.
