Spellcross: The Last Battle

***Spellcross: The Last Battle*** (***Spellcross: Poslední bitva*** in Czech; ***Spellcross: Ostatnia bitwa*** in Polish) is a turn-based strategy game for IBM PC compatibles, developed by the Slovak company Cauldron HQ and published by Sales Curve Interactive in 1997/1998. In *Spellcross*, a contemporary Earth military fights for survival against an extradimensional invasion of orcs, undead, harpies and other fantasy creatures.

This game was known to be a major influence for I, Scarlet Marines, the founder-editor of the Scarletverse Nations and Scarletverse wikis, to create the *Aftermath of the Spellcross War* canon. And for the purpose of this page, I will be adding a list of units which I renamed to.
