IRON STORM

As Lieutenant James Anderson you must infiltrate and destroy key enemy positions deep behind enemy lines using your sharpened combat skills and stealth where necessary. If successful, your mission could finally put a stop to the carnage and restore what everybody has long since forgotten about: peace.

Alternative History: between reality and fiction, Iron Storm takes place in an imaginary environment which has been inspired by real events. Iron Storm takes real elements from the First World War; trenches, barbed wire fences, mines, gas warfare, snipers?and combines them with more modern elements from the Second World War; automatic weapons, radar, tanks, flame throwers? as well as elements inspired by modern warfare; helicopters, lasers, electronics and more.

Characters

Second Lieutenant James Anderson
Born in 1924, Anderson is a war child, an orphan of unknown parents. At 19, he volunteered for the army and advanced quickly through the ranks to become a second lieutenant. Now, in 1964, he has managed to stay alive and is a legendary figure in the trenches. He only has one motivating desire: to survive. Psychological profile: he is at breaking point...

Baron Ungern Sternberg
Baron Ungern Sternberg was born in Estonia towards the end of the nineteenth century. Taking advantage of the civil war between the White Russians and the Bolsheviks, he succeeded in stabilising the Mongol empire, building a mighty army and seizing power. An inflexible, mystical Buddhist, he is sickened by capitalist speculation and European politics and therefore wants to expand his empire from Vladivostok to the Atlantic. Radically different from traditional Tsarist officers, the Baron is tormented by dreams of grandeur and is fiercely independent. He is attached to his troops but is also capable of unparalleled cruelty.

C?cile Newcastel
Her career got off to an exemplary start and, at 32, she is a captain in the prestigious Royal Highland Regiment, and is Lieutenant James Anderson's commanding officer. Respected by her men and with a spotless service record, she is nonetheless uneasy, aware that she is that certain lobbies wish to see the war continue as they are making vast sums of money from it.

Patrick N. Mitchell
A colonel at 32, Patrick Nathan Mitchell is a real gung-ho trigger-happy type. However, he doesn't owe his high rank to his liking for human targets alone. He has also managed to ingratiate himself with some very highly placed individuals. Passionate about technology, he loves expensive toys and weapons? Unfortunately, his manic-depressive nature means that he is never slow to use them.
