World War I is in full swing. In the west, Belgium falls, and German forces rush toward Paris. In Bosnia, an irregular mobile war flares up in which a certain Mr. Seregin supports the forces of a small Balkan Slavic kingdom. But the main events take place in East Prussia, where the Artan Army directly enters battles on the side of the Russian Empire. There, the heroes of Borodin fight the enemy, turning military success in the “right” direction of history.

And right at this critical moment, the time for big diplomacy arrives. Kaiser Wilhelm wants to meet with the Prince of Artan to learn “for what,” while Emperor Nicholas is also expecting to meet—an unexpectedly appearing ally suddenly scares him greatly. And on the world map there are England and France, but no one asks them anything: since the victory at Tannenberg, they are not subjects of action, but objects of world politics—and they will only have to come to terms with the depth of their fall and defeat.
