Foil a Bizarre Alien Experiment!
Welcome to Operation Ultimatum¸ a one-hour introductory mission to help showcase Achtung! Cthulhu and the 2d20 system. Whether you're new to roleplaying games¸ or just new to the rip-roaring pulp adventures of the Secret War¸ this mission has been specially designed to be fun and accessible- and provide the perfect introduction to Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20.
It is May 1940¸ and as the British Expeditionary Force is pushed inexorably back towards Dunkirk by the German Army's Blitzkrieg¸ Professor Guilbert Paschal goes missing. Paschal is carrying rare and valuable occult artefacts and research materials¸ and his loss would be a disaster¸ so Section M¸ Britain's occult special force¸ dispatches a crack team of agents to retrieve the missing academic.
Initially the agents must follow the professor's tracks seeking evidence and clues to his whereabouts¸ before encountering Nachtwölfe¸ the Night Wolves¸ a Nazi occult faction obsessed with strange science and weird technology. The trail eventually leads to the ruins of an ancient castle and a showdown with the malevolent Mi-Go¸ a strange insectoid-fungoid race¸ who hail from beyond Pluto.
Will your agents survive this perilous encounter and live to fight another day? Find out in Operation Ultimatum!
