Marcher: Empires at War

The year is 1938, and the heir to the Holy Roman Empire lies dead in the streets of Paris, his blood cooling to the cries of the revolution, and the terrible engines of war waking once more. The Great Powers make ready for battle on land, at sea, in the air, and through the aether to distant worlds. After nearly a century of relative peace, humanity collectively breathes deep before the plunge. Alliances are called upon both known and secret, pacts are declared, and mobilization is ordered. Before the fated year draws to a close fighting takes place on eight continents and three worlds. This will be a war like no other seen before. Rapid technological progress, once hailed as the saviour of mankind, now bends back and bites its maker. Machines of war, at once marvelous and horrible, claw their way through ragged skies and ruined ground to lay their hate upon their enemies. The skies bleed the lifeblood of empires, the worlds burn in the fires of revolution. A new order is being cast, the Great War its crucible, and through it all, humanity Marches on.
