Overview[]

HORROR STALKS THE STEPPES!

Achtung! Cthulhu is a terrifying World War Two setting, fully compatible with the Call of Cthulhu, Sixth Edition and Savage Worlds roleplaying games.

Discover the secret history of the war in Russia: a vast land under the thumb of a brutal regime; a downtrodden yet determined population who have seen many horrors, not all of them of man’s making; and a land where giant machines of war rage across the countryside, terrorising all in their path.

The Guide to the Eastern Front adds a new dimension to the Secret War, including:
  • New investigator occupation templates: play members of the Soviet underworld, political prisoners, NKVD agents, and the cavalry
  • Information on Russian military structure and the issues faced when waging a war on the Eastern Front
  • More nameless horrors and vile creatures, such as the Krysolud, The insects from Shaggai, and the Stalin Lampen
  • Details on the inner workings of Institute 21, Otdel MI, and the Cult of Red Horus, as well as a variety of independent occult organisations and their nefarious plans for the Soviet Union
  • Tanks! (including Nachtwölfe’s proposed super tank that puts the Maus and Ratte to shame...)

In fact, a whole dossier’s worth of useful historical and fantastical information to help you expand your campaign out into the wider world of the Secret War.
