WW3 Lesson Plan

East Germany Orientation Day:

Today we are discussing our plans with our allies. These are very important discussions and strategies being talked about that will affect the rest of this war. We must be very careful on what we decide because of the power some of these countries have ready to fire.  One single move can setoff an entire nuclear war that has the power to eventually end the whole human race. 

East Germany Day 1:

Today is the first day in the Cold War. We are communicating with our allies to talk about what plans we have, and what plans they have. We must think wisely as any move could change the world forever. The first move we have decided to make as a group is to invade Yugoslavia… It was a success! It is always great to get started on the right track with a victory. That is all of the moves that will be made for right now because we must be patient in this war. We are currently still in DEFCON 5 which is a little surprising. This just in, the Soviet Union is attacking Turkey, but with an armored division and not bombs. I think this is a wise decision because they can take them over without causing a nuclear war. I am a little concerned that they will use nuclear weapons to defend and that might trigger something big.. This just in… They have moved to DEFCON 3 and are using nuclear weapons to defend! This is huge, I knew this would happen. ALL of the Soviet Union’s troops were DESTROYED. They have just got themselves into a nuclear war my friends. NATO forces have iniated launch on warning. This makes me upset because I feel we should’ve done something before they ignited that. Now if we attack with nukes, they will attack back right away. 

THIS JUST IN.. we are now in DECON 1. This is huge and alerting news. 

East Germany Day 2: 

Tensions are extremely high right now. We are in DEFCON 1. The enemies are currently in launch on warning. I think it would be a smart move to put ourselves in launch on warning too. This just in, we have just turned on launch on warning. I think this is a very smart move for the Warsaw Pact. NATO has just moved to DEFCON 2. NATO has not made a move yet, they seem to be stalling. We are very nervous over here because we do not know if nuclear weapons will be used or not. Let’s hope for the best… We tried to invade Turkey and THEY used nuclear weapons!! That has officially p***** us off. We are going to an all out nuclear warfare. We have launched all of nukes… They have launched their nukes back! This is the end.. I love my country..
