The Liberation of France:
In the waning months of the ceasefire years Paneurope launched a major
offensive in a bid to retake Combine occupied Paris. Paneuropean troops
coordinated with French Paneuropean loyalists to retake the city. With French
lowalists attacking from the less fortified west and Paneuropean cybertanks
punching through defences from the East, it is up to the Combine United States
Garrison to survive until reinforcements arrive. The Paneuropean liberation
force is accompanied by 3 new Fencer cybertank models, but their weaponry is
proving to be subpar in this campaign when stacked against long range weaponry
or other Ogres. The loyalists are made up of outdated tanks and up-gunned
helicopters as well as truck mounted militia, though outgunned, they outnumber
the western Combine forces in the city. The Combine Canadian reinforcements are
spearheaded by a pair of outdated Mark III’s and a Mark V and should punch
through anything other than enemy ogres. The Combine Garrison has large numbers
of infantry, heavy tanks and artillery which should stave off all but the most
determined assault from the east.
