The emperors of the USE and Austria share the same problem. It's an army currently engaged in a desperate struggle for Bavaria. In fact, the only force Emperor Gustav Adolf can think of sending to Austria is the United States of Europe Third Division under the command of Mike Stearns. And this time they won't have to face massive reinforcements from Austria's allies. They are equipped with weapons that would have seemed fantastical to the Turks of that other universe: airships, breech-loading rifles, rockets-even primitive tanks. They are led by the young, dynamic, and ruthless Murad IV, the most capable emperor the Ottomans have produced in a century. The Ottomans have the advantage of being able to study the failings and errors of their own campaigns in a future they can now avoid. Armed with new weapons inspired by the time-displaced Americans of Grantville, the Turks are determined to do what they were unable to do in the universe the Americans came from: capture Vienna. The long-feared attack on Austria by the Ottoman Empire has begun. The modern West Virginia town of Grantville has been displaced in time to continental Europe in 1632. The uptimers and their allies take on the Ottoman Empire at its height of power.
