The World of Konflikt '47

• 👹 This new reality features heroes, horrors, monsters, and mechs, all stemming from the mysterious rift technology.
• 🌍 The war has seen significant geopolitical shifts, with Germany consolidating into the Axis under the shadowy Green Vault, Britain strengthening its Commonwealth, the US on a crusade, and the Soviet Union desperately seeking rift access.
