The United States has decided to civilize the people of the Philippines, but the Filipinos beg to differ. The campaigns of 1899 will show war in all its glory and all its ugliness. It's time to bring freedom to the Philippines...whether they want it or not.

The United States has won the Spanish-American War, and finds itself in control of the Philippine Islands. The Filipinos think they're being liberated, but the Yankees have other ideas. Will America stay true to its values, or succumb to the temptation of empire?

In 1878, after 36 years of peace between their countries, the British Empire invaded Afghanistan once again. Some people never learn. The Second Anglo-Afghan War would shake the Empire...and the Afghans...to their foundations.
