Background
After the destruction of Soviet oil drilling stations in Siberia and the sabotage of coal mines in Canada, both the United Nations and the Koslovics looked to the alternative energy rich regions of South America. Soviet 12th and 19th Army Groups that recently fought in Mexico marched south into South America. Along the way, they were reinforced by the 103rd Engineering Corp and the 7th Guardsmen transported by the 1st Fleet. Soviet forces carved their way through the northern nations, crushing all opposing forces and reached the northern border of Argentina. Along the way, thousands of South American supporters joined the ranks of volunteer battalions and the newly formed governments of Columbia and Brazil supplied the Soviet war machine. Chinese and Vietnam forces, particularly the 17th, 18th, and the 34th Divisions, deployed into the rain forests of Brazil through the 9th Fleet. They methodically moved south towards Argentina, driving Brazilian rebels and United Nation forces out of dense jungles into clearings, where they were exposed and killed by the hundreds.

Surviving United Nation forces near Paraguay regrouped and attempted a counter-assault. Although at first initially successful in delaying the Chinese and Viet advances, Soviet troops wedged them between Soviet and Chinese forces and the majority of the UN forces were killed. The rest surrendered.

American and British 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions and the Royal 10th Army landed at the Uruguay-Argentina border to counter the Koslovic offensive. They advance into the Argentina, an belligerent fighting for the UN, and helped fortify the country and root out communist partisans.

The Koslovic attack on Argentina begins with Soviet troops carving their way directly into Buenos Aires while Chinese and Viet forces slowly clean up the scrapes of remaining enemy resistance in their trail.
