This is a game on the Ludendorff 'Peace Offensive' in an attempt to work the German forces between the British and French Armies. If the Germans can pull it off, then they'll force the French to fall back to defend Paris while entrapping the British against the coast, thereby forcing them to surrender. Using the tactics of the successful 'Russian' Front forces, developed by General Oskar von Hutier, the 'Stosstruppen' head off to engage the enemy while the Allies amass their 'Tank' forces for a counter-attack.
