Exploring New Alt-History Scenarios in Terra Invicta – Dark Skies
In the first scenario, players must claw their way back to stability following a nuclear apocalypse caused by the Cuban Missile Crisis. The second scenario places players twenty years prior to the alien invasion, during the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, while they simultaneously tackle covert alien forces in a fight no one believes is real.
