The French Expedition
Your force is the Citroen
Kegresse Trans Asia Expedition, under the leadership of famed French desert
explorer Commandant Henri Lostagaine. You have successfully crossed the Sahara
desert, using the latest in French automobile technology – the Citroen Kegresse
half track – and now have been set the challenge of crossing the Gobi desert in
Outer Mongolia.
The French government is very
interested in the military potential of the Citroen Kegresse and the Citroen company
is very interested in selling the half track design to the French army. As a
result, you have been given a military escort and an attached army officer,
Lieutenant Croissant, will be accompanying your expedition to evaluate the
vehicles.
You have been warned by the
French Secret Service, the Deuxieme
Bureau, that foreign powers may try to steal the design of the latest half
track model whilst you traverse the inhospitable and remote wastelands. As a
result, you must be prepared to fight against any potential enemy force that
you encounter – shoot first, ask questions later.
In addition, it is rumoured that
your friend and fellow desert explorer, the eccentric adventurer and
aristocrat, the Comte de Camenbert,
is travelling through the Gobi on one of his famous expeditions. If you manage
to meet up with him, his in depth knowledge of the terrain and his desert field
craft expertise will be very useful.
