Driven by their emperor's belief that it is the empire's divine destiny to rule the world, the fantastical forces of Japan have launched an all-out offensive against the Soviets.

And indeed, the Soviets appear to have the upper hand in their war against the Allies.īut their elation lasts all of 90 seconds before they come under attack by a mysterious new superpower, a mighty army spawned by their own unnatural tampering with the space/time continuum: The Empire of the Rising Sun. When they return to the present day they find that the man most responsible for the technological successes of their adversaries, the Allies (comprised of the US and the Western Europeans), is gone and Moscow has been restored to its former glory.
