Supreme Ruler: Cold War patch 7.2.1 notes

Scenario Description: Shadow of the Bear
As the Cold War heated up in the late 1950's, what would have been the fallout if a nuclear exchange had occurred between the United States and the USSR? Perhaps it would have given China a chance to emerge from the Shadow of the Bear. Start the game as China just before a nuclear exchange between the US and USSR. Use the opportunity of the Super Powers weakening each other to move against one of them and claim China’s place as a new Supreme Ruler.

- More than 80 new Cold War events
