Nuklear Winter '68: Heart Of Darkness

An expansion for Nuklear Winter '68.

A New Age Enters World War 2

First, there was the white light, and then everything melted away. The war ended in 1946 with the nuclear annihilation of the Third Reich, but all was not lost; many German units took shelter in underground vaults where they continued to live, train and develop new weapons. The Reich, oblivious of the climatic, technological and political changes inflicted by more than twenty years of nuclear winter, emerged in 1968 under Himmler's guidance only to find the Fatherland, a barren land now known as the Zone, surrounded by the NATO military and populated by mutants and a mysterious army of elusive beings fighting under the sign of the Black Hand.  

It is now 1969. One year has passed since the Reich began its struggle, only to have met a stiffer than anticipated resistance from the Black Hand, their war beasts, and the powerful NATO forces. The German war machine's bold impetus has been bogged down and turned into a fighting withdrawal as men, equipment, and food levels have dwindled to critically low levels. To make matters worse, a somber cloud looms over the Germans as Himmler, the Reich's ruthless commander, has been bedridden by a peculiar illness. Feeling that his time may be nearing, Himmler decides to reveal that the relic recovered from the Holterbeg monastery during the previous year's campaign may represent the vaults' only hope for survival and the answer to Germany's future.
