NATO-Russian War

The NATO-Russian War was the primary focus of the Midnight Campaign. The war is made up of several Minor Conflicts. The war was fought mainly by Russian and NATO Forces. Both sides did use proxy wars such as the Altian Conflict and Chernarussian Civil War. It also included several military campaigns such as the Invasion of Stratis and the Elbe Offensive. The War would end in a Russian Surrender after losing large amounts of men during the Chernarussian Civil War and Elbe Offensive. This would lead to the Russian Civil War
