Cold War Crisis (CWC) is a Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour total conversion. It takes place in the 80s, and features infantry, vehicles and aircraft of that era.
CWC offers two factions: the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States of America (USA). The Soviets tend to use tanks and artillery, whereas the USA relies on aircraft and other high-tech units. In contrast to vanilla Generals, infantry plays a more prominent and deadly role. The mod's gameplay is a mix of realism and fun, i.e., it is more realistic than vanilla Generals, featuring real-life weapon systems and characteristics, while still emphasizing each faction's strengths and weaknesses.

We released a re-packaged version of Cold War Crisis v1.5 Final (v469) for easier installation on modern systems (ssleay32.dll errors be gone!). CWC works with vanilla ZH (patched to version 1.04), as well as the many compilation releases of the game, just make sure you install it in the right directory (how-to).
This release is also compatible with GenPatcher (which fixes common ZH problems on Windows 10+) and GenTool (which improves ZH generally and includes essential improvements). Additionally, CWC is now available through GenLauncher (the ZH mod manager). All three are recommended to enjoy ZH and its many mods.
Thank you for playing Cold War Crisis!

when are you gonna make the eu faction
Also possibility to play for some other cool countries like Czechoslovakia, East Germany, or Peoples republic of Bulgaria would be great:-)
Hello both! The mod is complete. No new content will be added. Luckily, there's already plenty on offer. If you are bored, increase AI difficulty :)
Thanks for not adding any EU fanfiction. You have created the only realistic & fun mod for Generals. Admittedly I did prefer the counterinsurgency theme & gameplay focus of base zero hour, but it lacked your realism, your commitment to immersion. So thank you.
If you ever feel like doing another mod, a realistic version of Zero Hour's counterinsurgency setting would be awesome. Something like Iraq War, Afghanistan War or Iraq's Insurgency post-2003.
Or even Afghan-Soviet War.
Great to see that you guys are still maintaining this many years onwards.
Great to see mod in GenLauncher. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you for the GenLauncher version.
