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.

In the modern world
great gamers resolve their conflicts
with words...

(words like...)

GenPatcher,
GenTool,
GenLauncher!


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!
The CWC-Team

there was no conflict during the cold war ???? .... so that might be the reason why this mod is based on a FICTIONAL WAR ;) ... this was the only way to put the OFP spirit into generals :D

man i played cwc for the first time about 2 weeks ago, and i love it. i cant wait for more. what i dont understand is why you get so little units in the mission...i thought i'd be commanding like 2 platoons of M1A1s and maybe a platoon of M2 and like 2 A10s vs a division of russian tanks, but instead it's all piecemeal, small battles. i read up on the cold war and the russian doctrine called for a mass attack on one axis, then using a Operational Maneuver Group to exploit any cracks and blast a large hole in the front. oh well whatever...my thirst for battle has yet to be quenched...
