==Out of Time==
The mighty Soviet juggernaut has fallen. As Allied forces roll on the Kremlin, General Krukov and Colonel Cherdenko desperately turn to an untested secret weapon: the Soviet Time Machine.
In one ruthless moment, they rewrite history to put the Allies on the brink of defeat, under Premier Cherdenko's leadership. But the costly suppression of Western powers has allowed the Empire of the Rising Sun to expand unchecked, and the divine Emperor Yoshiro has chosen this moment to attack.
As his imperial armies threaten to wipe both Allied and Soviet forces off the map, Krukov and Cherdenko begin to question the wisdom of their actions...
==Factions==
===Allies===
A coalition of Western countries, bound together in defense of the free people of the world, the Allies have spent years fighting Soviet aggression, often prevailing through sheer determination.
	GENERAL JOHN BINGHAM[sic] Played by Jonathan Pryce 	The Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe, Bingham is a stiff upper-lipped Englishman. He'd rather be tending his dogs and rose garden, if his entire way of life wasn't under dire threat. Rational and dryly witty to the end.
	PRESIDENT HOWARD T. ACKERMAN Played by J.K. Simmons	An Iowa farmboy who rose to political power on a hard-charging—and vitriolic—anti-communist platform. Ackerman believes in America, Mom, and apple pie (in that order), and steamrolls any dissent to his far-right agenda.
	TANYA Played by Jenny McCarthy 	One of the Allies' finest commandos, Tanya is sassy, brassy, and thoroughly deadly. If it looks like a suicide mission, the Allies send her. Tanya's presence virtually assures success ... with maximum collateral damage.
	EVA Played by Gemma Atkinson 	The Allies' lovely but buttoned-down intelligence officer. Eva is Bingham's lifeline, communicating vital information to and from his commanders.
===Soviets===
A totalitarian regime whose scheming leaders constantly push a self-righteous agenda focused on achieving a global communistic state, primarily by fielding overwhelming armies of conscripts and poorly-trained grunts.
	PREMIER CHERDENKO Played by Tim Curry 	A dashing and ambitious soldier, and a true believer in the Soviet agenda. Once a Colonel serving under General Krukov, altering the timelines accidentally transformed him into the Soviet Premier ... a role he's quite willing to accept.
	GENERAL KRUKOV Played by Andrew Divoff	Temperamental and ruthless, Krukov capped a brilliant military carrier when he saved the USSR by erasing Einstein from history. Returning to find his subordinate Cherdenko crowned Premier was an unexpected—and unwelcome—side effect.
	DR. ZELINSKY Played by Peter Stormare 	The brilliant, though politically naïve Soviet scientist who developed time travel technology. Altering the past has come with severe personal and emotional costs to Zelinsky, putting his loyalties in doubt.
	NATASHA Played by Gina Carano 	The Soviet Union's top agent of destruction. Natasha takes great pride in her ability to kill anything crossing her path, and always approaches that task with ruthless efficiency.
	DASHA Played by Ivana Milicevic 	Beautiful and cold, Dasha is the communications and intelligence hub for all Soviet field operations.
===Empire of the Rising Sun===
An ancient land of strict tradition and futuristic technologies, their beloved Emperor Yoshiro has decided it is now time to teach the world a few lessons in civility ... through superior firepower.
	EMPEROR YOSHIRO Played by George Takei	His Imperial Majesty is the latest in a long line of divine rulers, believed to have descended from the Gods themselves. Calm and wise, Yoshiro is merely following his destiny to civilize the world through the code of Bushido.
	GENERAL TATSU Played by Ron Yuan 	Yoshiro's Western-educated son is far more impatient and scientific than his father. Tatsu's brilliant mind led to a modernized Japanese military unmatched by any in the world.
	SUKI Played by Kelly Hu 	A light and playful girl, it is Suki's honor to communicate mission information on behalf of the Empire.
==Co-Commanders==
Nobody goes into combat alone. You’ll have access to a Co-Commander throughout the campaign who can bring additional forces to bear on your behalf, played either by a friend or by an A.I. character.
===Allies===
	WARREN Played by Randy Couture 	A soldier's soldier, Warren's commitment to the cause of freedom is total, and inspiring. He's instantly willing to put himself in harm's way for his men and allies. Whatever happens, Warren will always have your back.
	LISSETTE Played by Autumn Reeser	Fun, flirtatious, and sly as a fox, Lissette is a former French spy with a gift for seeing right through enemy tactics. She takes the unorthodox approach every time, but the enemy ends up just as dead ... every time.
	GILES Played by Greg Ellis 	Ex-fighter jock Giles might initially come off as an over-eager fop playing solider, but he didn't get this far by being stupid. Perceptive and meticulous to a fault, Giles is quick to notice trouble, and quick to deal with it.
===Soviets===
	OLEG Played by Dimitri Diatchenko	A tank-driving caveman and your partner in crime since Academy, Oleg is overly casual for a man of command rank, but his amusing demeanor and dependability in battle more than make up for it.
	MOSKVIN Played by Gene Farber 	Unpredictable and highly unstable, Moskvin's sadistic streak can be fun to watch ... from a distance. His swings from cool to hysterical rage happen without warning, but his tactics always remain aggressive.
	ZHANA Played by Vanessa Branch 	Smart and sophisticated, Zhana focuses on any objective she's given, and then achieves it. She has something to prove to the world—and to you—and believes the Soviet cause is absolutely the right one to prove it for.
===Empire of the Rising Sun===
	SHINZO Played by Bruce A. Locke	An ancient and calculating warrior, "the Emperor's Shadow" may begin to see you as his protégé if you are supremely lucky. If not, his withering stare is enough to kill you. His ambitions are great. His tactics, flawless.
	KENJI Played by Jack J. Yang 	Suave, smug, and arrogant, Kenji is at his best in combat, and his mastery of Imperial technologies cannot be equaled. Gain his respect, and he'll be your friend for life.
	NAOMI Played by Lydia Look 	Notoriously ruthless and uncontrollably violent, Naomi was born on a battleship and has the gunmetal gray soul to match. There is no mercy, no peace, in her. If she opens up to you, you'll be the first. Ever.
==Units==
You'll have a wide array of forces at your command, each with their own unique function and special abilities. The key to victory is knowing when, where, and—most importantly—how to deploy them.
