I have begun making notes and such for a new Silent Storm campaign called Things to Come (aka Fallout 44). The S2 editor manual has finally been translated from the original Russian and will be available soon so I will be able to see just what kind of options I have available to me.
Things to Come campaign/The Fall of Civilization (aka Fallout 44) (Allied Campaign)
WWII went badly for everyone. Civilization has collapsed from England all the way east to China because of the accumulated damage to the infrastructure, massive casualties, and a worldwide influenza epidemic. After Pearl Harbour the Japanese managed to land an expeditionary force near Santa Barbara, it caused a great deal of destruction and severely damaged the morale of the Americans before it was exterminated by the U.S. Army. The Pacific War was in full swing when the epidemic hit and elements of the US Marines and Japanese Army are stranded all over the Pacific.
England was shattered with missiles and invaded but the British remained defiant, the Germans were driven back but when petrol ran out and things fell apart some German soldiers were stranded, they hold Sussex and are based out of Brighton. London fell to the Germans but was abandoned when they retreated back to the coast. The city is mostly deserted now, what is left of the government and royalty is in Liverpool.
The Germans detonated two atomic bombs on the Eastern Front to cover their retreat. They were untested and the Germans were not prepared for the level of destruction. Casualties were extreme on both sides. The Americans retaliated by dropping an atomic bomb on Berlin
Western and Eastern Europe are in chaos with armies disintegrating into competing war bands and the epidemic scything through the world’s population. Millions are dying.
The player is in a group of people in England who hide in a deep and extensive bunker underground to wait for the epidemic to pass. Unfortunately the Plague breaks out due to the fall of civilization and they have to stay in the bunker for a year.
When the player emerges the world is mostly in ruins. Initial resources are limited. Initially the player will have a poor selection of weapons. Handguns, knives, and a few grenades will be all at the start.
The first mission will be to get to the bunker; it is hidden in Sussex under an abandoned manor house. The player will have to enter an area held by stranded Germans and find the bunker entrance.
