1943 – Sverdlovsk


Moscow has fallen.
The Red Army staggers.
And a new war—far greater than the last—looms over the frozen continent.

In the bitter spring of 1943, Allied and German forces fought their way into the Soviet capital after months of brutal siege and relentless street-to-street combat. Stalin barely escapes the collapsing city, carrying with him a shattered government, a terrified inner circle, and a country on the brink of civil war.

As Stalin retreats east to Sverdlovsk and the Allies entrench around the ruins of Moscow, China seizes its chance. Mao Zedong unleashes a massive invasion across Siberia, overrunning Russian defences from Vladivostok to Novosibirsk and threatening to push westward through the Urals.

With two empires collapsing—Russia under internal revolt, and Europe straining under the cost of liberation—unlikely partners are forced to sit at the same table. At Gzhatsk, the Allies and the new provisional Soviet government attempt the impossible: peace, stability, and an emergency plan to hold back the Chinese tide before Asia falls entirely under Mao’s rule.

Amid political assassinations, mutinous armies, and the desperate mobilisation of the Siberian front, the future of Eurasia hangs by a thread. As borders are redrawn, alliances tested, and new enemies emerge, the survival of nations—and the peace of the world—depends on what happens after Moscow’s fall.
