Box Description
It is 1949, and the Great War has been raging for 35 long years. A secret archaeological dig has just uncovered a powerful relic and delivered it to the Obscura Korps, agents of the Reich's military aristocracy This artifact holds the key to information that the Reich has sought for years: the location of one of the four dark cardinal corners of reality.
This Cardinal Cornerstone is buried in an ancient crypt beneath a fortress in the heart of Central Europe. If the Rich controls it, they could open a portal to Hell. The Reich's 13th Occult Division is at the fortress now, led by Marquis General Hermann Von Heizinger. These agents of the Obscura Korps plan to call upon the Cohorts of Chaos to help them force the world into eternal servitude.
A few courageous men and women are all that stands between the Reich and the Cardinal Cornerstone. The 42nd Marine Special Forces is the Union's most elite combat unit, and for this mission its highly trained members have been equipped with powerful, still-experimental weaponry. They will parachute behind enemy lines, hunt down Heizinger, and attempt to neutralize the most horrific threat mankind has ever faced.
