Part of Series

It is 1947, and Europe remains mired in the devastation and bloodshed of the Continental War. You, a war-hardened squad of French soldiers, resist the Enemy as it closes in on your homeland. Yet as you trudge through the ash-strewn landscape, you realize that you are but chess pieces in a grander, inhuman game. Hefting your ornate rifle, packing your ever-present boîtenoire, and sidestepping weeping mines, you investigate the eerie war behind the war. This volume contains: • Character generation and rules adjustments for this brain-rattling new front in the struggle against the tattered king. • A military geopolitics guide explaining as much of this alternate reality conflict as your brain dares encompass. • Rank with fear and cordite, a fresh wave of Injury and Shock cards to challenge the soldiers of Weird War One. • Clanking and buzzing from a Jules Verne nightmare, the bizarre death machinery of the Continental War, from stalkers to dragonflies to dreadnoughts. • Weird war foes to overrun your positions and haunt your dreams. Meet the cruel Duchess of Death, the hideous gravegrinder, the insinuating redmedic, and more. • People to talk to, protect, or toss grenades at, from civilians to comrades to officers. • A complete scenario, "A Feast for Wolves". Try the sausages!
