**Plot:**

It is late 1943 and the Allied forces are pushing the Axis forces out of their occupied territory of North Africa. Corporal Scotteh is fresh off of R&R in London after his last assignment at an outpost on the coast of Northern France. Scotteh soon receives word from High Command of his next deployment, North Africa. With rumors of a new secret Axis operation in the desert, the division decides to deploy Scotteh to an American base commanded by one of the divisions commanders in Tunisia where the war is at a stalemate. The rumors include a supposed German archaeological expedition and testings of some sort of "nuclear substance". Since Scotteh has much experience with building and engineering, he will also be deployed as the new engineer for the base. Scotteh is soon transported to North Africa where he boards a plan and is forced to parachute a mile and a half away from the American base in the Tunisian Sahara due to there being a German Flak position nearby which could damage the aircraft. Scotteh soon parachutes down next to a river, alone, but he is told to follow the river as it will lead him to the American base. The savannah is already very hot and sunny, but as he travels up the river he stumbles upon a small house occupied by a Tunisian merchant named, Krateos Sophronia, Kidemonas. Scotteh confronts Kidemonas who reveals to be a local merchant who offers Scotteh bread and Malvasia wine. Scotteh kindly declines the offer and quickly leaves to continue his journey up the river. He then crosses the river to a nearby forest to continue his journey where he stumbles upon the remains of a small German regiment. All the regiment's soldiers are dead along with a destroyed panzer and kubelwagon, who appeared to be ambushed a while ago. Scotteh quickly leaves the area under suspicion of any German patrols in the area. Further up the river he stumbles upon a small Tunisian village which appeared to have damages from an attack or bombing earlier in the war. Scotteh quickly helps the villagers before he continues his journey up the river towards the American Base which is titled, "Objective A". Scotteh eventually crosses through a large savannah field and spots the American base which he carefully inspects until he sees the large American flag along with a watch tower. The base is located next to a small river and is actually a village with a couple watch towers and military outposts. Scotteh then heads to the front of the village's wall where he meets Pvt. Steve who is a sentry. After being authorized entry, Scotteh heads into the village which includes a small farm, mine, and fishing hole along with meeting some of the American soldiers and villagers, such as Ismene Kandake, Gynaika. Although Scotteh need to report his presence to the villages commander so heads to the command post which is a small hut between two of the local homes and dug into the ground. Inside he meets the village's commander, and Scotteh's new commander, Sergeant Lancaster. Lancaster excitedly greets the new engineer/commando/ soon to be second in command. Lancaster also informs Scotteh to head to the armory to get a new uniform more fitting for the base which mostly consists of American-Scottish soldiers such as Scotteh who is Scottish. Along his way to the armory, Scotteh meets two of the local village children: Egeas Galanis, Neos and Danae Peleus, Kore. Scotteh soon heads into the armory where he meets the Armory Commander and his local villager assistant: Ilias Pantagiota, Emporos where Scotteh receives a new Scottish platoon uniform. After being suited up, Scotteh heads back to Lancaster who informs him of his first task to help clear out some of the desert bushes throughout the villages to help for the construction of the new defenses for the wall. Scotteh also meats another local named Medea Sophronia who attempts to trade with Scotteh, but Scotteh is determined to get back to work. After a while working, Scotteh heads over to gather more supplies to craft tools to help clear the area for the construction of the village wall. He meets another local named Krateos Galanis, Xylokopos who is the local village lumberjack who is helping gather wood to expand the village defenses. Scotteh makes his way to the local village mine which is no more than small quarry in the ground. The quarry is run by local villager, Leo Sophronia, Metallorychos who allows Scotteh to gather some sharp stone to craft a 'sweeping' axe to help clear some of the brush around the northern side of the village where the soon to be wall will be constructed. By the end of the day, Scotteh has began constructing a wooden wall around some of the open parts of the village defenses. Scotteh soon ends his day clearing brush for the construction of the wall.
