The Thirty Years War is constantly on the ravage 17th century Europe, but a new force is normally gathering power and influence: the Confederated Principalities of Europe, an alliance between Gustavus Adolphus, Ruler of Sweden, and the West Virginians from your 20th century led by Mike Stearns who have been hurled centuries in to the past with a secret cosmic accident. The about 1634: The Galileo Affair democratic ideals of the CPE possess aroused the implacable hostility of Cardinal Richelieu, effective ruler of France, who has relocated behind the moments, making common trigger with old opponents to stop this new threat to the privileged and powerful.

The People in america are divided on whether to greatly help him or quit him-and whether he succeeds or fails, the outcomes could be catastrophic for the CPE.
