Near Argentan, French S.S.R.
August 20th, 1942
"It's been almost 3 months since we took normandy and we're still not at Paris yet. But if we're gonna make our mark, We gotta be ready for anything. Like teaming up with the S.O.E. - British Special Forces."
At an Allied Forward Operating Base, Logan and David were taking munitions boxes out of a transport truck and placing them on the ground behind them.
"Something big is going on." Logan said.
"Must be. Dad's here." David replied, looking at Colonel Elias Walker talking to Merrick and Rorke while walking up to a command post.
"We've received intelligence from the French and German Resistance movements about a Soviet train carrying M-13 rockets for an attack on Paris and Berlin Refuelling near Argentan. That gives us just enough time to move our team into position. It must be stopped. You proved yourselves in Marigny, which is why you'll get the opportunity and the privilege." Elias said, explaining the situation and the objective.
"Thank you sir, but this seems like a job for more than one platoon." Merrick replied.
"That's why I'm teaming you up with the SOE." Elias stated.
Suddenly there was a jeep honking. Elias, Merrick and Rorke turned to see an army jeep parking and two people getting out, one was a man with a beard and blonde hair, with hints of black. The other was a woman with brown hair.
"It looks like you two caught a bit of it." Merrick joked.
"Don't worry lieutenant. We saved some for you." said the man in a British accent.
"Agents Gideon Emery and Vivian Harris will lead the operation. They've been working with both France and Germany's Resistances for months and know the terrain well. You'll defer to them."
"We heard about Marigny. Impressive." Said Vivian.
"I can't take all the credit." Rorke Replied.
"Just doing our job." Merrick added.
"And a fine job it was, but a warm up I'm afraid. Look, this is no ordinary Soviet supply train. It's a fortress on wheels." Gideon said, handing Merrick a photo of the armoured train, which featured many hammers and sickles as well as painted bright stars, but their colour was unknown due to the photo being in only black and white. "Our liaisons in the resistances, Rousseau and Maxis, will provide support if possible but attacks on their networks could mean we're on our own"
"The fates of Paris and Berlin are in your hands." Elias said.
