March 21, 1918: General Ludendorff knows that the German army must achieve a breakthrough against the Allies before the U.S. Army can make its presence felt. Relying on special tactics developed by General Oskar von Hutier, the Germans launched Operation Michael. Referred to by General Ludendorff as the Peace Offensive, its aim was to sever the fragile line between the British and French armies. If the two forces could be separated, France would be forced to pull her forces back to defend Paris. The British would be trapped against the coast and would have no choice but to surrender. Can your small unit tactics carry the field? Can your British tanks stem the tide of the offensive?
