The war was supposed to be simple.

Three great powers have joined forces to cross the ocean and seize a new continent. Their armies have superior weapons, disciplined infantry and experienced officers. The enemy is supposed to be divided, poorly armed and unprepared.

But the maps are wrong.

As Lieutenant Desmond “Pícaro” Winters leads a hundred elite skirmishers into unexplored territory, the campaign begins to unravel. Villages appear where no villages should exist. Enemy movements suggest an organized force far larger than intelligence reports claimed. Something is watching the column from the forests.

And then the soldiers begin to encounter things that no military manual can explain.

Pícaro must lead his men through ambushes, battles, hostile territory and political intrigue while trying to understand an enemy who knows the land better than they ever could.

Follow the orders, and you may march your men into a trap.

Disobey them, and you may be facing the enemy alone.

In this campaign, survival depends on your decisions, your soldiers, and how quickly you learn that this is not the war you were sent to fight.

The Powder Frontier awaits.
