The war was costly, a political disaster and crippled the Soviet Space Program and saw a successful coup led by Yuri Andropov that ushered in a more democratic Soviet State. Boris Yeltsin is still President in 1998, though.

The game was successful enough for GamesWorkshop to commission a series of novels based on the setting. These started out with the short story anthology ''Route 666,'' and was relatively short-lived; the best-known and remembered being the trilogy of novels written by horror novelist and film critic KimNewman under the pen name Jack Yeovil. These expanded significantly on the background and setting provided in the 1988 rulebook and mixed in elements from horror and played with various well-known dystopia tropes while mixing in a healthy dose of pop-culture references, [[AlternateHistory alternate-history]] jokes and cameos from other fictional properties. Although GW have never done anything with the game, Newman's novels (much like his Warhammer works involving Genevieve the Vampire), remained popular enough to survive beyond the lifespan of the game and have been republished by Black Library, though the final installment of his ''Demon Download'' series, ''United States Calvary'' remains unpublished.
