Aliens one second, magic skunk rituals the next, and a moon landing with massive lunar temples. That’s a basic description of any mass paranormal Cold War drama. And this books premise sounds a lot like @Anarcho-Occultist one.

This is basically the premise of Metal Slug. Mix supernatural, super-science, and aliens all in one.

Trust me, it is! It is a completely bonkers anthology, complete with California and Utah secession from the Union, alien temples on the moon, Soviet control of extraterrestrial technology, the psychic assassination of U.S. presidents, and a Russian version of Hogwarts under Soviet control.

Don't worry, the Soviets screw themselves over in multiple stories, either by angering alien beings, opening up demonic portals, assassination of Soviet Premiers and Politburo members, screwing over leaders of the Third World, etc. , only to have the consequences come to bite them on the rear end....

I thought the premise of the games were a WWII-esque war was fought in the "near future" in some vague world superstate with schizo tech, at least for the first game. The later games moved away from that, mostly, in favor of ASB elements.

The first entries was a retrofuturistic war but later they included aliens, zombies, mummies, mutants, etc and it got funnier at that point. It does count as a Weird War III or Weird War IV.
