RIBECOURT, FRANCE. FALL 1918,
It is late in the war.
As winter draws in, the Germans fortify their lines and dare the enemy to come to them.
Waves of infantry die crashing against German concrete. The maps do not change.
Heavily-armed and well-protected, the British Mark.V tank is a fearsome war machine.
It clears trenches. It destroys barbed wire. The tank can break through.
On October 18, British forces prepare for a mass assault on the town of Cambrai. With tank support, Allied Command believes a breakthrough is a certainty.
But the Mark V tank has one major flaw: it is not reliable.
