Story:

USSR Occupied America, 1982-

After the second world war, the feverish spread of communism and America's response to it prompted a long and arduous test of strength between the planet's two leading superpowers. With missiles closely trained at each other, it was apparent to both nations that nuclear fire would solve nothing. The USSR buckled down and focused all resources into furthering the technology of war. Following close along of course was America with the same characteristic grit and industrious ingenuity that won the wars of the past. For years the Cold War slowly began to heat up as newer and stronger machines were produced to forever change the landscape of battle. Large hulking mech-suits piloted by the bright minds of a generation born into conflict dominated the fields. The United States fought hard but was soon overrun. It is now a soviet state under communistic rule, but unknown to the soviets is a resistance group festering under the USSR's great boot of oppression.
