*Paris, 1944. The air is sour with smoke and dread as the news of the Allied landings spreads. Your convoy—twenty grim-faced soldiers, two hulking Panzer IVs, and a pair of open-topped halftracks—grinds its way through the silent, watching streets. A sudden, deafening roar tears through the column. The rear Panzer convulses and erupts into a pillar of flame. In the ringing silence that follows, you are already moving, scrambling from the halftrack with your comrades, rifles snapping up to meet the muzzle flashes winking from the dark windows above.*
