Taking control of a Cromwell tank (which the game gives you for War Stories mode for free), the first mission simply asks you to hold the line, as you defend Parliament - and London - from the onslaught of the Wehrmacht, with only a few computer controlled buddies to give you a helping hand. With the battle commencing in London outside the houses of Parliament, before pushing the Germans back to the coast, and eventually, back into the seas, each mission takes around ten to fifteen minutes to play through - although there's also plenty of replay value here, with an additional challenge mode unlocking once you've completed each mission for the first time. What you get are three missions, each set on an all new map, rather than a repurposed multiplayer stage, and a story that tells the tale of one tank commander, as his plucky platoon try to give Hitler one in the eye. The story's relayed through some stylish, comic book style cutscenes While some were sceptical about whether this would actually be possible, it was a threat that many in the country nevertheless took extremely seriously, with concern leading to the creation of the Home Guard - or Dad's Army - a group of men who were ordinarily ineligible for military service, who were trained to both keep a close watch for any sign of invasion, and sabotage the Germans if it ever did occur. In reality, having decided that the strength of the Royal Navy probably meant most of his troops would end up in Davy Jones' Locker, the invasion never happened - but this free mini-campaign takes a tank-focussed look at what might have took place if it did. Having bombed London (and much of the rest of the UK) into oblivion, and with both the US and the USSR staying out of things, Hitler's initial plan was to land a fleet in the UK, in a German version of D-Day, with the intent of taking over the UK by the end of 1940. Planned for September of 1940, Operation Sealion was to be the culmination of Hitler's Blitzkrieg.
