I-Paris 44: Uprising and Liberation ngumdlalo webhodi lecebo osekelwe ekuphendukeni ohlanganisa ukuthunjwa okungalindelekile kwedolobha laseParis yi-Allied. Kusukela ku-Joni Nuutinen: Ngumdlali wempi wabadlali bempi kusukela ngo-2011. Kubuyekezwe: 2026 Mashi.

I-Paris ikhuphuka ngokuvukela, kodwa ukuqinisa kwamaJalimane kungenzeka ukuthi kuyasondela. Qhudelana namabutho akho e-Allied uye edolobheni, uchithe izinqaba zaseJalimane, bese ukhulula iParis ngaphambi kokuba isitha siphinde sihlasele!

Isizinda somlando: Ngemva kokuvalwa kwe-Falaise Gap, ama-Allies enza ngamabomu isinqumo sokugwema iParis, esaba impi yasemadolobheni ende njenge-Stalingrad. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Paris yayidinga amathani angu-4,000 empahla nsuku zonke: ukuyithatha kwakuzovimba ukuya eRhine. NOKHO, ngomhlaka-19 Agasti 19, kwaqubuka ukuvukela eParis. Izinsuku ezimbili, izingxoxo eziphazamisayo kanye nemikhawulo yesikhashana yokuphela kwempi zenzeka njengoba izinhlangothi zombili zihlola amandla omunye nomunye. Ngomhlaka-22, izinhlangothi zombili eParis zavumelana... ukuthi azivumelani: masilwe. Ngenkathi umzabalazo waseFrance ubeka amakhulu ezivikelo, uhlangothi lwaseJalimane lwaziqinisa lwaba yizinqaba ezimbalwa, lulinde ukufika kwama-Panzergrenadier Brigades athembisiwe ukuzoqeda umzabalazo edolobheni.

I-French Resistance yayinethemba lokuphoqa u-Eisenhower ukuba ahlasele iParis ngaphambilini, okwenzeka ngempela, futhi ngomhlaka-23 Agasti, amathangi aseFrance naseMelika ayeqhubekela eParis. Manje, umjaho uyaqhubeka: Ingabe ama-panzer aseJalimane azofika ngesikhathi ukuzoqeda umzabalazo, noma ingabe amathangi e-Allied azoqala aphule futhi avikele iParis ekhululiwe?

Yini eyenza lesi simo sibe yinto ehlukile: Uyala kokubili umzabalazo ophelelwe yithemba, ocindezelwe kakhulu kanye nezinhloko zezikhali ezihlomile zigijimela ukusiza. Njengoba kunemigwaqo eminingi eholela eParis, uzophoqeleka ukulinganisela ukusunduza okuningana okuncane, uzimisele ukuthatha ingozi engakanani ukuze ugweme ukunqunywa?

Kubadlali abaqinile empini abafuna inselelo enamandla nelinganayo, sebenzisa isethingi ethi "Lawula Wonke Amaphuzu Okunqoba Ukuze Unqobe", futhi unike amandla ukuqinisa okuletha izinsalela zama-Panzer Divisions amaningana aseduze empini!

Akukho ukuthenga okungaphakathi kohlelo lokusebenza, ngakho-ke izinga lakho eHholo Lodumo lincike kuphela ekuhlakanipheni kwakho kanye nekhono lakho lokuqhuba ngesivinini kanye namandla! Indlela enhle yokuzama izindlela ezisetshenziswa yilolu chungechunge lomdlalo ukudlala i-Cobra: US Breakthrough Strike, enikezwa njengokungena okugcwele kwamahhala.

“Ukukhululwa kweParis kuphawula ukubuya kwenkululeko eFrance, okunqotshwe yisibindi samaParis kanye nokusekelwa kwabalingani bethu.”
