THE MISSION
In England, in the spring of 1944, Allied forces are preparing for the D-Day invasion. Among them are Major John Reisman, an OSS officer.

Major Reisman is assigned an unusual and top-secret pre-invasion mission: take twelve soldiers convicted of felony offences, either serving prison sentences or condemned to death, and turn them into a unit capable of carrying out a specific task. They are to infiltrate a chÒteau near Rennes, in Brittany, used as a retreat for senior Wehrmacht officers, on the eve of the invasion. Without having complete intelligence as to the identity of the guests, it was felt that the elimination of officers in the German high command or senior staff could cripple or confuse the German military's ability to respond at the time of crisis. It is quickly established that both Reisman and the generals with whom he frequently clashes consider the mission to be a suicidal long shot. After a long period of convincing and training the men, they are deployed to attack a chateau in France, housing German commanders, intending to disrupt the German command structure.

The unit is also under orders to work with and assist the French resistance units in that area.
Shortly before their mission the British have sent a small SOE unit to prepare and supply weapons to the resistance unit lead by a local man René Artois, they were also to recon the area and send back intel.
Unfortunately nothing has been heard from these men.

The Sides

14 US
2 British SOE/para
12 French resistance
25 German

Uniform / clothing
US forces I would prefer you to wear clothing as used in the movie not all in M42 jump suits :wink:
British SOE para uniform or battle dress tunic.
French resistance clothing can be any period casual/ work wear or staff clothing for the ChÒteau.

German can once again be any period uniform and officers uniforms are quite desirable for this one.

Age limits

Anyone over 14 will be allowed at this event much like at Anarchy under the Eagle.

The venue

The site is a designated grade 2 listed complex, which was built in 1908, the main house (ChÒteau) is set on four levels, which is connected by a protected banister system, this is to prevent damage from airsoft gaming and has been tested to ensure it does.
The F block which connects to the house has access from the ground floor and the second floor, this is circa 1930 and has been modernised over the years, more recently the buildings have suffered massive damage to the infrastructure by thieves and vandals, these areas are now maintained by S.W.A.T. and its security team.
The F block consists of approximately 400 rooms, some inter connecting some dead ends, most have glass windows intact for obscured visibility and clear view to offer a mixed environment for the airsoft players.
