====== Swarm on the Somme ======

Created by [[offtopic:Blackwave]], //Swarm on the Somme// deals with an attack on Earth in early 1915 by the [[timelines:Grex]], a vicious extraterrestrial race of insects, or 'Roaches', as they are soon nicknamed. Landing initially in northern France, right between the frontlines of the Entente and Central Powers, in Siberia, and in the Australian Outback, they soon spread into North America and Japan, with the situation looking increasingly desperate for humanity.
