Chapters

The game’s storyline is divided into several chapters. Each chapter contains several missions, which build up resources and background information for the final chapter mission.

A chapter is about a single major event, like sabotaging an ammunition transport, disrupting an important supply line or reporting about crimes committed by the Nazis.





Chapter Structure

Most of the missions in a chapter must be played in sequence, but there are also optional sub-missions. These sub-missions can be played to provide more in-depth information and to provide additional resources and information.

The first chapter is a tutorial chapter. It includes the storyline of how the main character is drawn into fighting for the Resistance and provides an introduction into the game.

The following drawing explains the chapter structure.

The chapter starts with a day in the bar again (B1 in the drawing), the player overhears a conversation about a prisoner transport that is due in the following days and that a guy named Jacque from the French railway company has further information.

The mission M1 is about meeting Jacque at home and convincing him to provide information about the transport. He eventually talks about the train transport.

Back in the bar (B2) one of the loyal guys hanging around knows about another resistance cell that may be helpful.

Mission M2 involves getting access to that cell’s weekly meeting, sneaking through guarded streets, obtaining their access password and meeting their leader. This provides detailed information about the transport, especially about the train driver Francoise and when and where the transport will go.

Back in the bar, an optional mission OM1 can be played, which involves meeting Francoise, who is loyal to the Germans since they provide nice goods to him. The player must obtain these goods and provide them to Francoise to win his loyalty.

The next mission M3 deals with preparing the raid of the train and how the prisoners are then transported to a safer place. The resistance cell visited in mission M2 has provided the location and names of truck drivers. The player must also obtain items to successfully redirect the train to some other track and stop it.

The final chapter mission M4 contains all the action. The train is redirected, stopped and attacked. If Francoise has been convinced in mission OM1 then some things are easier.





Victory

The overall victory condition is to successfully complete the last chapter in the game.

Loss conditions appear in every mission, when the mission objective has not been met. For essential chapter missions this demands playing the mission again. Optional sub-missions can simply fail.

The game does not provide alternative story lines for failed missions.
