With the development of atomic weapons, the world changed. The testing of a prototype nuclear device by the Manhattan Project opened a rift in the fabric of space, while the Fat Boy atomic bomb dropped on Dresden in March 1944 created a second rift. As German and U.S. scientists set to work studying the phenomenon, they began to receive radio signals through the rifts - messages sent from unknown originators wanting to help each nation`s war efforts.
As the messages were deciphered, discoveries were made that allowed each nation to make huge leaps in industrial and scientific research. Exploiting new technologies, the Axis and Allied forces quickly develop new tanks and strange armoured walkers to become the vanguard of their armies, supported by new highly equipped or terribly twisted troops. Despite repeated pleas and demands from their allies, both the United States and Germany were reluctant to share the messages coming through the rifts. Stalin then declared the United States an enemy in May 1944: the Soviet Union would end the war on its own.
Using the Bolt Action rules system, this rulebook for Konflikt '47 offers everything required to build a force that incorporates the incredible weapons and technologies made possible by the rift signals, and to engage in tabletop battles for supremacy and survival.
