Personally, I’m very excited to see how this 1940s dieselpunk is going to evolve, because as you might have read March of War is a living world. This means that we have created this cool alternate history for you, but once you start playing the game you are the one who’s going to determine how the story continues! – Well you’ll have to strife for power with the other players in your faction.

Now you’re wondering – how do I get an invite for this closed beta? Starting next week you can apply for an invite on <a href="http://marchofwar.isotx.com/">the March of War website</a>. We have limited space though, so it’s first come, first served. I will let you know when you can start applying!

If you don’t want to wait, you can also like <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/March-of-War/442451039162954">the March of War Facebook page</a>. Coincidently that will also keep you updated on the latest news!

Comrade, after the education about the glories of the Soviet Union you received last week, it is time to show some of tool with which we spread the joy of communism. The Sickle is the pride of the Red Army. Wait, have I seen you before? Where are you from, Comrade? I cannot place your accent.

Let me tell you a story about a note from an Alliance spy I found:

<em>I hope this message will find you at some point. When it does, I’m probably dead. The Soviets are developing a monstrous gunship. I trust the pencil drawings I made have arrived safely at the bridge over the river. </em>

<a href="http://www.isotx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/sickle_drawing01_small.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5966" title="sickle_drawing01_small" src="http://www.isotx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/sickle_drawing01_small.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="390" /></a>

<em>The cell I’m in is too dark to give you a detailed drawing. Before I was caught I overheard a couple of engineers discussing the chopper. I think they work for the Don Polytechnical Institute in Novocherkassk. They have fitted so many weapons on this behemoth of an aircraft, they are having difficulty getting it up the air. But they won’t stop until this Sickle is airborne and reaping our troops like its namesake reaps grain.

We must not let this beast lose in the skies, we must sabotage it at all costs or we will all regret it. My location is, or rather was, since I’ve no idea where they’ve brought me, nine and five quarters in the mountains. I don’t know if they’ve moved on, but it seems a good place to start.

Perhaps it’s the endless and gruesome torture I’ve been submitted to, but the gunship won’t leave me alone. It haunts my dreams, and in my waking hours I can only imagine what the Hammer must look like.

You do not need to worry about him anymore. The NKVD has dealt with the matter swiftly. We need to be very careful with anti-revolutionaries and spies – but you are a true revolutionary, aren’t you Comrade?

Hope the United Republic is making you excited about the prospect of getting your hands on our new strategy game! Last week we introduced the first unit of the European Alliance – the Siege Tank. Now you’re all curious about the firepower of the United Republic, I reckon.

<a href="http://www.isotx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RepublicHowitzer.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-5899" title="RepublicHowitzer" src="http://www.isotx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RepublicHowitzer-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" style="margin-left: 5px;"/></a>

Being the last faction to enter the global conflict, The United Republic’s economy thrived as the world spun into a devastating war. It should therefore come as no surprise that the United Republic’s army is the best money can buy.

The Republic Howitzer in particular strikes fear into the hearts of the men the United Republic claims to be liberating. Its long range, highly destructive blasts are infamous for annihilating masses of enemies who have no way of seeing the attack coming. When the United Republic attempted to drive forces sympathetic to the Soviets out of the South American jungles, this bad boy was responsible for the majority of enemy casualties, as well as the destruction of large parts of the rainforest, leaving the Red Threat nowhere to hide.

Nicknamed Uncle Sam, the Republic Howitzer is the epitome of 20th century mobile artillery cannons. Research funded by some of the wealthiest people in the world has resulted in a mass producible cannon without equal. And with highly trained soldiers to operate this machine who would dare stand in the way of the Republic’s quest to spread freedom?

The world is at war and the last bastion of peace and freedom, the United Republic, enters the battlefield armed with slick chrome air planes and war machines funded by the corporate world of banks and industry. This second faction of our new turn-based strategy game fights for freedom and has nearly unlimited monetary resources to fund its armies.

The president of the United Republic made a famous speech when the war reached Republican soil:

<em>For sixteen years our nation has been inflicted by a see nothing, hear nothing, and do nothing government. Our United Republic has become rich as the worldwide war deprived men of freedom. All men are created equal, so it is our mission to liberate men to pursue their own happiness and dreams. Sixteen years it took our country to realize that we need to oppose the enemies of freedom and the enemies of peace. Will it take sixteen more before we fight back?

<a href="http://www.isotx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/republic-moodshot5.jpg"><img src="http://www.isotx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/republic-moodshot5.jpg" alt="" title="republic-moodshot5" width="520" height="299" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5887" /></a>

No. It is time to take a stand against our enemy in the west that so brutally attacked Pearl Harbour in a selfish conquest to expand their nation. It is time to stand up to the Red Threat, and to stop them spreading their deluded ideas. It is time to bring freedom to the world.

We saw nothing, we heard nothing and we did nothing. But now, you, my fellow Republicans, can make a difference. Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. Ask how you can help in the fight for freedom!

Men, I want you to join the Republican Air Force. I want you to take up arms in the name of liberty. I want you to strike fear into the hearts of all those who oppose the freedom of men.
