cutting and pasting from the online copy of the future history (and
praying to the gods of copyright law) ...

2039 Indonesia invades and conquers Malaysia.

2043 The House of Saud completes its suppression of its fellow Arab
states
and creates The Islamic Federation. Borneo is overrun by Indonesian
forces.

2045 Heavy fighting on the Sino-Siberian border as the Beijing
Government
presses long redundant border claims against a financially and
politically
bankrupt Russia.

2046 South Korea falls to a lightning strike by Chinese and North Korean
forces

(2047 - 2057 Fall of the USA)

2050 The Philippines are conquered by Indonesia and assimilated into the
new Indonesian Commonwealth: Japanese naval units act to protect the
Gilderstein Foundations installation from Indonesian aggression.

2051 The Eurasian Union crosses the Himalayas and invades the Indian
sub-continent

2053 The Indonesian Commonwealth invades and conquers Burma and Thailand

2054 The remainder of Indo-China falls to the forces of the Indonesian
Commonwealth

2057 The LLAR declares that the AC has no mandate to rule over the
ex-Hispano-US peoples and decrees California, New Mexico and Texas as
LLAR
territory under foreign occupation and launches an invasion of these
areas. The fifteen year War of the Americas starts.

2062 The Islamic Federation and PAU clash in north-east Africa over
water
rights.

as you can see, plenty of land action. plus the nuking of israel and
delhi
by terrorists. given that manned FTL travel starts in 2067, no space
action.

>  Has anyone done any scenarios set during that period?

i understand a few people have done the pacification of the US.
