After seven snippets, time for the first snap question. I am planning to ask some questions like this now and then. I do not promise to follow majority vote but will take note of preferences and comments. So help my intelligence department a bit and don’t hesitate and make your vote!

Designer ‘icym’ created what can only be called a game within the Advanced Tactics game. The Triumph of the Reich scenario is made for 2 to 5 human players that take control of up to 15 regimes including Germany, USA, USSR, Turkey, Vichy and Persia. Specialized rules include: V-Weapons, Submarine warfare in the Atlantic, scientists, storms, partisans, Atlantic Wall, mines, revised research rules, special actions cards and much much more.
For full info please read the Triumph Players Guide PDF.
My recommendation is that if you like PBEM you should try this scenario out. Download it over here.

Snippet #7: Alien atmospheres
What do you know? We have reached snippet #7. This one showing that each planet has a unique atmosphere. The planet we see here (Aselir Secundus) has alien life, but the type is not compatible with earth life. With no oxygen in the atmosphere all humans will have to wear breathing apparatus and live and work in sealed locations.
Take charges of one of the major powers of this fictional America: USA, Confederates, Texas, California or Mexico in this free for all fight for domination of America.
I strongly recommend giving the newest mod by ernieschwitz a spin. I’ll buy you a beer if you win as Mexico ;) You can download it from the scenariobank: https://www.vrdesigns.net/scenario.php?nr=253
Snippet #6: Shroud of darkness
And one more snippet. This one just to show that Shadow Empire will have a strong exploration component including a shroud of darkness covering the initial map.
Best wishes,
Vic
Snippet #5: Militias
Another snippet. When you start a new game you’ll start at a low technology and very basic organisational level. Your initial forces will consist of militia’s. Militias are semi-independent volunteer units that reflect your nation is just leaving the dark ages of the apocalypse. The autonomy level of militias helps new players as they will not have to research, build or understand TOEs or OOBs in order to have an initial military. However the militias can be expected to take a backbench role once the player leaves the early game. In mid-game a large government run military organisation is likely to take the spotlight position.
Best wishes,
Vic
