### Overall Plot:

It is mid-1942, and The Second World War was raging across the world as the Axis powers were in their prime of conquest. In Dover, England, a young Scottish Coropral named Scotteh was training with a newly formed British Commando Unit. Scotteh had impressed his commanders greatly, especially one of his commanders by the name of General Peanut, an American serving with the new Commando Unit. Peanut decides to recruit Scotteh for a new mission where Scotteh would be parachuted behind enemy lines on a large island off the coast of Brittany, France. The island is the closest, besides Cherbourg, that the Germans have to reaching the British homeland. Using this distance, the German forces are using the island to set up missile launching stations to reach London. There are also rumors that the Germans are also experimenting with a toxic substance they hope to use against the British homeland. Scotteh's mission is to head onto the island and establish a secret radio transmission lines back to HQ in Dover. Scotteh is also supposed to spy and collect as much intel as possible on the German activity on the island.

Finally in August of 1942, Scotteh was flown over the island where he parachuted with a supply drop. He was on the northwestern coast of the island. For the next two weeks, Scotteh would use the supplies he was given to build a base camp and single handedly take out the nearby underground flak position. Scotteh would also soon be able to single handedly take the German controlled bridge on the island. The Germans, becoming aware of an enemy presence, begin sending patrol squads to find and terminate the enemy presence. Scotteh fends off and defeats two squads which discover his base. The Germans also try to reinforce the bridge, but Scotteh had already performed a night raid using a Thompson Submachine Gun and M1 Carbine in hand. Single handedly, Scotteh killed nearly 20 enemy soldiers and captured the bridge. The next day Scotteh curiously and without orders, crossed the bridge and discovered an US paratrooper base. Apparently, the US army had sent over a task unit to also investigate on the island, but the plane was flown off course and the unit landed in Brittany. Scotteh met many of the soldiers including the American Commander there. Scotteh soon returns to his base on the island and continues building an underground mineshaft which he uses to collect minerals to make explosives and ammunition. A day or two later, Scotteh recrossed the bridge and came to the US base and helped the Americans take out a German 'gruppe'heading to take over the base. The team successfully takes out the German force and Scotteh once again returns to his base. After a day of working in the mineshaft, Scotteh heads over to the American base and wanders off to explore a nearby German position. Scotteh stumbles onto a German nuclear testing site and finds an underground bunker which he stealthily infiltrates. In the bunker, he finds an out-of-this-world sight, a portal of some sorts. Scotteh enters the portal and is transported to a German laboratory with scientists running around everywhere. Not knowing what is happening, Scotteh jumps back into the portal and is back at the underground bunker in Brittany. As Scotteh leaves, he travels to the American base which he doesn't arrive at until next morning. To his horror, the Germans had taken over the base and massacred the paratroopers and for some reason, set up one of their portals there. After a rage in Scotteh is built up, he single handedly takes out the small German force and liberates the camp but there is no survivors. He also commences to destroy the portal. The next day, Scotteh returns to his base and is surpriesed to see General Peanut there with a task force. Peanut reveals that the task force had been deployed when the American paratrooper unit was not responding to their radio transmissions. In a state of worry, Peanut assembled a skillful task force to land on the island and reach Scotteh who was still sending out radio reports. Scotteh had now successfully finished his mission. For the next couple of days, Scotteh would go on several missions to take out enemy positions on the island and even be promoted to Sergeant and have his own squad. Apart of his squad includes, the feared Bushface, an American sniper. Scotteh and the task force would also construct a barracks, a quarry, a defense wall, and even build a makeshift airfield. Nearly a week later, General Peanut tells Scotteh that the bridge must be blown up to make sure no more German forces can come across and try to invade the island, so leading a platoon of soldiers, Scotteh and the platoon successfully blow up the bridge and defeat a regiment of German soldiers who were trying to cross. The next day, Scott awakens to see a huge British battleship off the coast along with two transport ships and a whole brigade of tanks, the island has successfully been occupied by the Allies and the German threat neutralized. In celebration, Scott is able to do a flyover around the island in a P-51 Mustang and reflects on his past missions on the island. When he lands, General Peanut tells Scott that he had acted above and beyond the call of duty and is gifted a two month leave back in London.

In London, Scott finds that his leave from action is more like a desk job as he reports to the Commando headquarters each day to file reports on what he had witnessed on the island. Scott also learns that the Allies have conducted the Torch Landings in North Africa and are beginning to squeeze the Axis forces out of the North African theatre of war. His superiors, (except for Peanut who is still on the island conducting guerrilla and intelligence operations), inform Scott that his next mission he will be assigned will take place in North Africa. After a month of intelligence and desk work, Scotteh is sent back into training to get fit for his upcoming mission.
