1944:
The war has taken a dark turn.
In the Pacific, General Douglas MacArthur is dead. Vladivostok has fallen to Japan. Under the brilliant and aggressive Admiral Yamaguchi, the Imperial Japanese Navy has dealt devastating blows to the United States, stalling the Allied advance and threatening to reshape the balance of power across Asia.
In Europe, the situation is even worse.
Stalingrad is in German hands. The Red Army has suffered a string of crushing defeats, and Field Marshal Erwin Rommel now stands at the gates of Moscow. If the Soviet capital falls, Hitler may finally achieve the victory that has eluded him for years, and free Germany to turn its full strength against the remaining Allies.
Yet the war is far from decided.
Across the frozen wastes of Siberia, Soviet counteroffensives have begun to claw back territory from Japan. In Spain and North Africa, Allied forces prepare to challenge the Axis grip on Europe. And in laboratories hidden on opposite sides of the world, scientists race to unlock a weapon capable of ending the war forever.
As armies clash from Moscow to the Pacific, nations begin to understand that this next year could bring either victory or defeat.
The side that loses, may not survive it.
