Waffenträger: Paradox

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Max von Krieger is back, and he hasn't given up on his far-reaching plans. This time, the technology at his disposal is not limited to electromagnetic superweapons: The Alliance has learned that von Krieger has made some progress with time travel. It should be impossible, but when you are dealing with a genius scientist and engineer sitting on a stockpile of Mirium, you'd better check on him. Join the Harriers once more and pay von Krieger a visit—and get duly rewarded![/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
