The beginning of the war

After the end of the Second War, the Allies finally thought that there would be a time of peace and prosperity, but then, Premier Romanov's old adviser, Yuri, almost succeeded in controlling the minds of the entire planet through the use of a network of Psychic Dominator devices. However, the Allies used the Time Machine, developed by Professor Einstein, to travel back in time to the Second War. Here, they managed to finish the war with the Soviets by forming an Alliance against their common enemy, Yuri. After converging on Yuri's Antarctic stronghold, capturing Yuri and imprisoning him in a psychically-isolated chamber, that there would again be peace and prosperity. But, the use of the Allied Time Machine to alter the future caused a disruption in the space-time continuum, causing the two timelines, the actual one, and the one where the Allied travelled back, to merge together. As Einstein said in the last few moments of that timeline, "One series of events must take precedence over the other." What Einstein didn't know was that the timelines weren't going to take precedence over the other, but fully merge into one timeline. And so, the end result of this all was the retaining of the Allied-Soviet Alliance, but with Yuri's forces up and running again. They thought this was the extent of the merging, what they didn't know was that the merging of the timelines weakened the space-time continuum in their timeline, making it simple for an army of 'time conquerors' to jump into their timeline using a temporal vortex, a sort of 'tunnel through time' created at the weakest point of the continuum, and begin a quest to conquer yet another timeline.

The Third War is about to begin again, the Allies and Soviets need to react quickly. Commander, will you take control of the forces of the Alliance, and return this new army back to the future from whence they came, fighting across time and space, or will you take up arms as one of their forces, and add another timeline to their already large list, conquering across Earth and beyond.

The choice is yours Commander, will you fight to command the past, or to conquer the future.
