It also, however, produced a side effect that changed history forever. The testing of a prototype device at the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico yielded a workable weapon in early 1944. In 1943, the US Manhattan programme under Robert Oppenheimer made rapid progress in developing the joint Canadian/British atomic energy programme into a weapon that could hopefully win them the war. The testing and use of these weapons set in motion a chain of events that would forever change the nature of the conflict and directly lead to the situation detailed in this book. However, in 1943 the order of the world changed with the development of atomic weapons. Konflikt ‘47 is set in a world very much like ours in fact, until the middle years of World War II its history is nearly indistinguishable from our own. With rules inspired by the award-winning Bolt Action system, this standalone game takes World War II to a completely new level, and offers everything required to harness the incredible weapons and technologies made possible by the rift signals, and to engage in tabletop battles for supremacy and survival. Power-armoured infantry armed with personal wonder-weapons follow super-heavy tanks and mechanised walkers into battle, smashing defences with colossal firepower, while genetic monstrosities are sent out to hunt and terrorise enemy forces. World War II has entered a completely new phase. Angered by America's refusal to share the secrets of Rift-tech, Stalin declares war on the US and Britain, and the Allies are fractured. Desperate for any military advantage, Germany and the US swiftly apply these discoveries to their war efforts, and incredible new weapons begin to appear on the battlefield. German and American scientists determine that signals are being transmitted through the rifts, many indecipherable, but some containing revolutionary scientific and technological theorems. Atomic testing at Los Alamos opens a rift in the fabric of space, while the detonation of the Fat Boy atomic bomb over Dresden creates a second.
