Now that sounds like an excellent idea.  Personally, I'm thinking of a big
Fourth Reich movement in modern BNW that will involve some flashback sequences
and such.  Sort of the same kind of thing you can do with Deadlands and HoE
over at Pinnacle.

All of the above are mentioned, yes.  Some briefly, others in more detail.

Well, two of them are very Russian in orientation, while two of the others are
perfect for the battle with Rommel's Afrika Korps down in the northern Africa
theatre.  Plus, there are a few mentions of power packages that we haven't seen
yet.  The Aquarians get some good press, and the Lazarus package is mentioned,
among a few others.  Good stuff all around!
