Panic on the Maginot Line The French leaders all sat around the table. The German army was on the move. Quickly progressing through eastern Europe and rapidly making a move for the eastern French border. The leaders sitting at the table were discussing defense strategies to keep the Germany army from advancing into their territory. Some generals were saying "we need to go on the attack and push them back". Other generals were saying "The Maginot Line will hold off the Germans, we have nothing to fear". One general quietly sat on one end of the table and a said: "The Maginot Line is poorly fortified the Germans will simply go around it, we should be considering some alternate strategies to defend our great land". Positioned throughout this unruly crowd of "demon kings" all pushing for their ideas to be heard was the Field Marshal of the French Army.

Operation Bodyguard It is April 1943 and Rama is crossing the Atlantic ocean aboard a liberty ship. Rama had always wanted to visit the United Kingdom, just not under these circumstances.
