Steel Reign

Kirov Saga: Second Front

Karpov is set to punish his unwary enemy, but the confrontation in the Sea of Okhotsk soon escalates into the shock and violence of modern warfare as Kirov faces a most unexpected adversary. The battle that will soon be joined could decide the fate of all concerned, a desperate throw of the dice by the Captain and crew of DDG-180, against the most powerful opponent they will ever face.

Meanwhile, the German Army has now recovered from the long, cold winter, and Eric von Manstein is ready to lead a strong new offensive push to the south. His objective is to finally link up with the forces of Ivan Volkov in the Caucasus, which would put the Axis in a position to pose a grave threat to Iran, Iraq and the entire British position in the Middle East.

Realizing that the Soviet Union could still collapse in late 1942, the Allies struggle to forge a plan that will open a second front in the West. President Roosevelt has given his consent to launch the first daring offensive of the war—Operation Torch. It will be aimed at French North Africa, intending to cut off German supplies to the Canary Islands and unhinge their Condor offensive. German occupied Gibraltar still guards the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea, as well as a terrible secret hidden beneath the Rock. Can the Allied forces storm and reclaim that vital port before the Germans learn what lies within their nest?
