  • A Global War 1936-45 V3 Expansion by Will Henson & Stewart Brewer
    1 LATIN AMERICA V3.0 AT WAR A Global War 1936-45 v3 Expansion by Will Henson & Stewart Brewer INTRODUCTION Welcome to Latin America at War (LAW), a Global War 1936-1945 v3 expansion. This expansion increases your options for bringing World War II to Latin America. Before the War, many countries in Latin America had immigrant populations from Germany, Italy and even Japan. Although the United States was the undisputed leader in hemispheric affairs, pro-Axis and pro-Communist sentiments fed rivalries in Latin America that threatened to bring the War closer to the region. This expansion is based on actual historical facts, but also includes some ahistorical liberties in order to bring the Latin American region more fully into the game. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In 1938 the U.S. began to pressure Latin American governments to scale back their ties to Axis countries because of the potential threat they posed for continued world peace. But not all of the countries of Latin America were convinced that they should completely sever their economic and political relationships with the Axis Powers. Many countries in Central and South America had strong economic connections with Germany, Italy and Japan. In addition, concepts of fascism and Nazism had a certain appeal to Latin American political leaders who saw fascism and its militant form of nationalism as economically stimulating, politically strengthening, and nationally unifying. In September of 1939, the U.S. declared neutrality in the escalating European and Asian conflicts. But the U.S. became more apprehensive about Axis designs on Latin America. President Franklin D.

Neoliberalism in the Gutter: Latin American Comics and Society since the 1990s Abstract Since the 1990s, Latin America has undergone important economic, social, political, and cultural transformations marked by the consolidation of neoliberal policies that swept through the region and helped define its contemporary societies. This essay explores comic books and cartoons produced by Latin American artists during this period, interrogating the various ways in which the graphic narrative medium has both reflected and reacted against neoliberalism’s impact throughout the continent. Through the use of political cartooning, superhero comics, and graphic novels that employ supernatural themes, the artists analyzed here have engaged with the big, contentious issues of contemporary Latin America, including foreign intervention, loss of national sovereignty, corrupt politicians, poverty, and violence.

Through a combination of stories presented from Elizebeth’s point of view, to solving encoded messages using various cipher techniques that Elizebeth herself used, the player learns about her career and her impact on the art of cryptography in the United States and gain a better appreciation for military code breakers. This paper discusses the process of how we researched Elizebeth’s story, created the game, playtested it and gathered data, analyzed the playtest data, and finally published the game on itch.io.
