That would certainly seem to fit the criteria for the series, large land mass, lots of forces involved etc. I would probably buy it!
Then the battle should be Russian Federation vs PRC, not USSR vs PRC in the 1985 storyline.
And about the forces... yes it's true that there would be a huge amount of forces involved, but both sides had the same doctrine and almost identical weaponry.
Then it would be decided by the Commanders skill!
I would not like to be on the worst commander side then...

Japan... well, if China attacks i think that they do it near Tokio, heavy urban warfare (more urban density than in Germany) and urban warfare+MC...
Taiwan... well, is a good objetive for China but i think that a North Korean defeat is more important because China Navy VS USA Navy... you know, 25-75 i think.
For Scandinavia... i dont know how work mountain+few troops, i prefer the south front with armies similar in all aspects, more attractive for me at least.
85 timeline need a little consistence and go to the north or soutn Danube are good choices and more easy
I agree with you in almost every point, except in two points.
First, about the chinese navy, yes it is worst than the USA navy and yes, it was outnumbered, but in the 80s they had enough ships to control the access from Chinese mainland to Taiwan (IE, the Taiwan strait)
Second: You say that in the southern front the armies were "similar in all aspects". Well, considering that the forces involved would be Bulgarians + Romanians + Albanians (they were formally in the WP) vs the Greek army one of the best armies in europe, and the Turkish army... the armies would not be similar in all aspects and the WP forces would need a lot of help from the Soviets.
Don't get me wrong, i would buy, play and probably like any of those titles and i would also like to conquer Wien or defend it but i think that, as you said, the series need a new scenario, that's why i understand that if they set a new game in asia with a new map... the it would be really and trully cool.
:cool2: <-- Cooler than this one, actually.
Edit: I forgot it. About Cuba... i think that the US army has enough NG divisions to send there and maybe a marine division. They are not precisely A quality troops.. and, furthermore, one of the allied in the zone was and still is nowadays, is Colombia, which could also send troops.
