&&BRIEF
"Survive an unprovoked attack from the Paris Region and then Counter-Attack to remove their leader from power (Command Vehicle located somewhere near the city of Paris)."

&&NOTES
"There appears to be no motive for Paris'sudden declaration of war against Marseille.  Obviously they feel that with Spain and Germany occupied with their own internal problems, it is a good opportunity to pursue their own ambition and re-unify France without having to worry about any of the subtleties of an election (like the possibility of losing).  It is unclear how the World Market will react to this situation...  If Marseille can withstand the assault, then it may support their retaliation against the Paris leadership.  However, if they sense weakness in the Marseille, they could just as likely decide to support Paris and assist the forced unification of France.

"Paris has officially declared war on us.  Their initial Missile Launch seems to have targeted our Industrial Capabilities near Lyon.  We must make sure to defend these against future attacks and do our best to withstand their onslaught.  Intelligence has determined that General deMarille is behind the decision to attack.  Your advisors have determined that our priority must be eliminating the General.  Our last estimates have him personally leading a Command Battalion somewhere near Paris.  Destroy this Battalion and victory will be ours!"

&&SCENWIN
"Congratulations on your victory over Paris!  The destruction of their Command and Control has allowed you to easily gain the upper hand over their military.  Perhaps you do have the leadership qualities needed to potentially vie for world domination."

&&SCENLOSE
"Although Paris held the initiative going in, it was expected that you would be able to withstand their onslaught and eliminate their Command and Control structure.  You were obviously not ready for your military leadership to be tested..."

&&DESIGNERNOTES
"MILITARY DIFFICULTY : Moderate - Hard¶ECONOMIC DIFFICULTY : n/a¶SCENARIO LENGTH : Moderate¶¶The economies of both Marseille and Paris are strong, so will not likely factor into the results of this mission.  This is set up as a test of a player's tactical abilities.  Trying to hold the entire border will be impossible, so the player must decide where to concentrate their defenses and when to counter-attack.  A PDF Walk Through has been provided to take players through some of the decisions that are important to military success.¶¶Mission Editors : George Geczy & David Thompson"
