THE UNSTOPPABLE WARPATH CONTINUES!

The tidal wave of war crashed upon them, fracturing France like a faultline.

This second instalment in the warpath saga lights the spark to ignite an inferno, engulfing Captain Jack Churchill and his Merry Men of the Second Manchester Regiment. Following the events of the L’Épinette ambush, Operation Dynamo becomes initiated to full effect. This is the complete evacuation of the entire British Expeditionary Force out of Dunkirk.

For Mad Jack, the war could be over before it even begins…

RETREAT TO VICTORY!

Vying Hitler’s Halt Order and the eventual advance of the unstoppable Nazi Germany juggernaut, Churchill’s newest dilemma finds him leaping out of the Führer’s frying pan and into the fire. Concurrent to the coastal evacuation, his selfless last-minute foray back into the fray threatens not only to have Jack as one of the last off the shores of Dunkirk, but also of being left behind for enemy capture… Time is running out.

Finding friends and fighting enemies along the way, the walls close in around him as France succumbs to the Swastika, and the insignia completely saturates Europe.

Ladies and gentlemen, hold on to your doodlesacks for another full-throttle adventure…

It’s looking to be a Nice Day for a War.
