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!

Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help with an installation/launch issue. I've installed the mod and placed it in the Zero Hour folder per the instructions, but I have an ssleay32.dll missing error. I'm running Zero Hour from the Ultimate Collection in Origin. I've located a couple ssleay32.dll files in the Origin and Zero Hour core folders but am not familiar enough to know what needs to be done. Any insight is appreciated, thanks!
What about old soviets ballistic missiles? Can u add them as well?
Considering how long it's been since the developers posted any new content, they probably aren't going to see this. However, if they do or if someone out there who is good at modding takes interest, I have a suggestion. There should be an addon pack that includes a few more factions that are relevant to this time period, like Afghanistan, England, Israel, etc.
I absolutely love this mod and have been playing it for years but I would like to see something new.
The mod is a finished product already since 2009.
