A grand strategy game in the style of 1980s military terminals, inspired by the Hearts of Iron IV mod «The New Order: Last Days of Europe».
The Reich won the war, but it is rotting from within. The Führer is dying. In the west the SS Order bides its time; in the east the Black League rises from the ruins. You lead one of them to the final war for Europe.
A black screen, green monospaced text, box-drawing frames, a CRT case with rounded corners, phosphor glow and a rolling scan line. Under this shell is a full real-time-with-pause strategy game: you run a country day by day from 1 January 1962.
Germany and Japan won the Second World War. For twenty years the Reich has ruled from the Atlantic to the Urals, but it is held together only by the name of one man. When he is gone, Europe will fall into the abyss, and someone has to reach the edge first.
The SS Order-State of Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler: Belgium and north-eastern France.
The whole country is one vast concentration camp: factories and mines run on prisoner labour, an informer watches everyone, and the knights of the SS Order rule. When the Führer dies, Heydrich and the SS in Germany will wait for orders from Brussels.
An officers' clique founded by General Karbyshev and entrenched in Vologda amid the ruins of Western Russia. In practice it is ruled by Supreme Commander Dmitry Yazov.
The country has fallen apart into atamanates, soviets and enclaves. The League will gather them by word or by fire, and then lead them West. Its rivals are the Gorky Directorate, Rokossovsky in the Urals and Kirov's Tyumen Soviet.

New in 1.2: the League's Great Judgement finale: «Bloody Judgement», the OFN and Japan side with Burgundy, nuclear strikes from Africa and from beyond the map, «Revenge on the Traitors» and the end of the world; after the collapse Europe's regions go dark one by one, leaving an empty map and TV static; an 8-bit «Arise, Great Country» plays during the Great Judgement superevent; a new «Reckoning with the Vlasovites» with a tribunal whose outcome shapes the start of the Great Judgement; Burgundy in Russia: «Cleansing the Eastern Lands».
New in 1.1: an English version of the whole game; the «Great Judgement» superevent: the Reichskommissariats and Göring's troops fight alongside the Order as one state; lands change hands along the front line, neighbours only; the reckoning with the Vlasovites; a more visible nuclear programme with missile trails on the map; a more generous economy.

Tip: the final assaults on Berlin and the Kremlin need a strong army. Operations eat up men and equipment, so replenish the army between conquests.
