AFOW: Scorched Earth

Overview:
AFOW: Scorched Earth was a planned mapping series. Dissatisfied with the quality of his AFOW, Braden came up with the concept for the series in late 2018. The idea was to have a series that takes place in the same universe as AFOW but in the year 2040, with better plots, characters, maps etc. On December 26th, 2018, Braden made a (now unlisted) announcement video stating that he was going to scrap his current AFOW in favor of a new project known as AFOW: Scorched Earth. On February 14th, 2019 a trailer was released that stated Episode 1 would be out sometime in August of 2019. However, more than two years later and all that has come from this series is an unfinished script (which Braden no longer even likes) and the previously mentioned trailer. Despite this lack of progress it has never been officially canceled. It can be considered an example of a series in development purgatory.

Concept:
The idea for the series was that it's the year 2040. There is a three way civil war in the Republic of Garyville, between Fascists (backed by the Nazis from AFOW episode 6), communists (backed by North Korea, who is trying to avenge China), and the democratic government. However, in December of 2040, a fourth side appears known as the Blue Army. They are led by General G (Braden) and General N (Ethan). Together, with good tactics, advanced weaponry and backing from several nations they come out on top and annex Garyville in its entirety. They proclaim the Republic of Imperial Garyville, and have a cold war like conflict with Nazi Germany which eventually turns into WW3.

Possible return to production:
Although Braden has previously stated he wants to return to working on this series someday, in all honesty it's probably a dead project. AFOW's take a lot of time the staff simply can't spare with the current amount of projects. Besides, Braden already decided he'll implement the Blue Army into his Alternate Future of the North Atlantic series in the form of the Blue Army Federal Republic.
