    I believe but cant reference at the moment that the Soviet invasion of Norway is supposed to begin after 20 NOV 96.
    Now that it's been brought up, I'd guess it is either the editorial error as you suggested, or deliberate, to have a canon source to keep the Soviets the "bad guys" by having them invade a NATO nation's territory first. It was the 1980s after all, and we couldn't have the US being the aggressor party.

    Just a theory.

      Germans didn't invade Soviet Union, they went to aid the rebelling Lithuanians.

      - Not recorded in canon, but records have been found that indicate that the 3d Panzer Div went to the assistance of Lithuanian locals who were beseiged by Soviets.

        It was a bad call, Ripley. It was a bad call.

          At least you don't see the Lithuanians f**king each other over for a percentage
