Autumn 2026. Europe is not at war, and not at peace either. For four months, from the Black Sea to the Danish straits, you command the forces that stand on that line. Every scenario asks the same thing: do the job without crossing the line.
This archive holds one folder, Europe 2026 - Below the Line, with the campaign file (.campaign), its list picture and the eleven scenarios, in campaign order:

Each scenario has a mission pack (briefing pack and operation order), free on totobimbo.com. Read it before the operation: the scenarios are run through special actions and messages described there.
HOW THE CAMPAIGN WORKS
Every scenario also plays on its own, from a neutral start: the single .scen files are on totobimbo.com.
GO DEEPER · THE NOVELS
Every scenario has its novel. The Below the Line saga follows the same officers, crews and ministers from the Black Sea to Copenhagen, on both sides of the line, starting from real events of 2025 and 2026.
