BETA: FIRST CONTACT

The BETA land at Kashgar on 19 April 1973. You command any one of 141 human states of the Cold War world - the United States, the Soviet Union, China, or a nation with three provinces and a prayer - against an enemy that never retreats, never negotiates and never stops building Hives. * Two scenarios: Operation Hongqi (the landing, 19 April 1973) and the First Lunar War (1970 - three years to prepare, and a Moon front to hold). * Any nation playable, on real 1973 borders: the USSR and Yugoslavia intact, Germany and Vietnam split, the colonial empires still standing. * The BETA of the original series: Soldier, Tank, Warrior, Grappler, Destroyer, Fort, Laser, Heavy Laser and Carrier-class. The Laser-class ends human air power about three weeks after the landing. * Raise and fight with Tactical Surface Fighters - each nation flies its own airframes, from first-generation walking frames to third-generation machines - across seven fields of research. * Province-level war on a 536-province Earth: control meters, entrenchment, fortifications, and BETA supply lines that reach only so far from a Hive. * Nuclear weapons that work, and that teach the BETA to adapt. G-Bombs that can erase a Hive outright. * A UN coalition, lend-lease, and AI nations fighting their own war alongside you. * Four difficulties, from "Home Front" to "Muv-Luv": in the hardest one humanity's survival is a miracle you have to earn. Win by destroying every Hive on Earth, or by holding the line into 1990.
