Soviet utopia on steroids

[AngrySwan]

For those interested in sucessful Soviet moon landings and further space exploration close to science fiction
Soviet strategy v.2.0 "Soviet Utopia"

This strategy can be played either as USSR or GSA using only Soviet equipment. The Soviets are more advanced than historically: they land on the Moon and continue with even more advanced rockets to prepare for space utopia as in the paintings of Soviet sci fi artists Andrey Sokolov and Alexey Leonov (also a cosmonaut and the first spacewalker).
