A Westwind Productions está em grande mais uma vez, não sei se a minha carteira vai resistir a esta ultima loucura...

SECRETS OF THE THIRD REICH

IN JUNE 1944 HISTORY TOOK A DIFFERENT PATH.

ON JUNE THE 4TH 1944 THE ALLIES INVADED NORTHERN FRANCE. ALL WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN.

ON THE EVENING OF 17TH JULY, BRITISH ARMOURED UNITS PREPARED FOR OPERATION ''GOODWOOD''. THE EASTERN SKY WAS LIT BY FIRE AS ALLIED BOMBS FELL ON THE CITY OF CAEN. LOOKING UP YOU WOULD HAVE BARELY NOTICED THE ARCING TRAILS OF SMOKE CURVING INTO THE NIGHT SKY.

THROUGH OUT THAT NIGHT AND FOR MANY DAYS TO COME THE V3 MISSILES RAINED DOWN ON THE ALLIED BRIDGEHEAD. HIGH EXPLOSIVE WARHEADS WREAKED HAVOC AMONGST THE CONCENTRATED ARMOURED UNITS BUT HIDDEN AMONGST THIS BOMBARDMENT THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE SINISTER. ON THIS DAY THE THIRD GENEVA CONVENTION WAS BROKEN. EVERY TENTH ROCKET SHELL CONTAINED A NERVE AGENT KNOWN AS ''VENGANCE GAS''.

V-GAS WAS UNLIKE ANY GAS WEAPON USED BEFORE, IT CONTAINED AN ACTIVE BIOLOGICAL FACTOR. A BACTERIUM, WHICH WHEN DISSIPATED IN WATER COURSES WOULD MULTIPLY RAPIDLY. AS THE V-BACTERIUM BREAKS DOWN IT CREATES THE V-GAS, A NERVE TOXIN AKIN TO MUSTARD GAS AFFECTING THE LUNGS, EYES AND SKIN. THERE WERE MANY CASUALTIES.

THE BRIDGEHEAD HELD. THE GERMANS HAD MISCALCULATED. V-GAS WAS A WEAPON OF DESPERATION A LAST ROLL OF THE DICE.

V-GAS WAS AN INDISCRIMINATE KILLER AND CASUALTIES WERE ALSO HIGH ON THE GERMAN SIDE. TIME WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE AXIS. AS THE FRONT LINES STABILISED MORE AND MORE GERMAN UNITS FROM THE PAS DE CALAIS MOVED WEST. WHILE IN THE SOUTH THE AMERICANS MET THE UNEXPECTED.

THE ALLIED BREAKOUT.
16TH AUGUST 1944. AS THE AMERICAN DIVISIONS BEGAN THEIR MOVEMENT SOUTH THEY ENCOUNTERED UNEXPECTED RESISTANCE AND NEW GERMAN WEAPONRY.

ULTRA HAD FAILED. NO HINT OF THESE WEAPONS HAD BEEN REVEALED TO THE ALLIES. MECHANISED WALKING MACHINES THREE STORIES TALL HAMMERED THE ALLIES BACK. JET FIGHTERS CONTESTED THE SKIES WITH SPITFIRES AND TYPHOONS.

Panzer Mecha hardcore!
