New York

"New York will be soon renamed Commandergrad I think."
 * Conscript

New York City was a pivotal strategic and symbolic location in both GWWIII and  WWIII.

Role in GWWIII
New York was one of the first locations invaded by the Soviet Union in the War. The City was heavily bombarded by Dreadnoughts and V3 Launchers.

In the Allied Campaign, Agent Tanya infiltrated the city to liberate the trapped troops in Fort Bradley. The city was largely in ruins by this time and she could not save the Statue of Liberty from being brought down by Soviet missiles. Upon the destruction of the Statue, Premier Romanov delivered a message to the people of New York: "See your liberty, how she lies broken before you...you can continue to mourn your past, or join us in the Great Soviet Revolution!". Allied revenge was swift. Soon Fort Bradley was rescued and the Soviets driven out of New York.

In the Soviet Campaign, New York was where Yuri wanted to test his Psychic Beacon. First, the Allied Battle Lab in the city had to be captured. This was done, and despite massive Allied reinforcements into the city it soon fell under Soviet control.

Role in WWIII
New York City was the site of the last major battle in the War in the Soviet perspective. See Blight on the Big Apple

After the War the city was renamed Commandergrad, in honor of the commander, now Premier, who took the city and the world for the USSR.
