The year is 1936, and it has been 18 years since Leon Trotsky assumed control of the Soviet Union. The world has changed immensely since then and nation after nation falls to what has become known as Trotsky's World Revolution. Eastern Europe sits tightly under the iron grasp of the Soviets; and France, Germany, and Britain have all fall to communism as well. To the East, even the once-mighty China finds itself plunged into a civil war that has torn the country apart. However, all is not well for Trotsky and his allies. Somewhere in the world lurks Stalin, the man robbed of his position as leader of the Soviets, plotting his revenge. And, perhaps more pressing still is the reinvigorated United States, which has been more and more aggressive in its actions and rhetoric to stop the spread of communism. Thus the fate of the world lies in your hand, will Trotsky's revolution prevail, or will the United States stand strong as The Last Bastion of democracy and halt the spread of communism once and for all?
