Gordon McAuliffe is
the pilot of a Lockheed Hudson bomber based out of RAF Leuchars. All day,
every day, he flies the same humdrum maritime patrols searching for enemy
vessels. But everything changes when he finds a mysterious ring in a pictish
burial site. At first, Gordon can’t
believe his luck at finding a charm to change his fortune. However, soon the
crew is sure Gordon and his new trinket have put a curse on their crate! One
thing’s for sure – their boring maritime patrols are about to get way more
exciting! |
Corporal Tom
Gerrard of the Royal Tank Corps couldn’t forget his time in the North African
desert. Along with his three mates, he had captured a swaggering and evil
Nazi colonel. Colonel Karl
Oberth of the Tenth Panzer wouldn’t forgive the insult of being forced to
carry a miserable Britischer across the desert on his back. He would make
every Tommy pay for their insolence. And so now, somewhere
on the tumultuous, war-torn European continent, Fate had once again decided
these two tank men should meet. |
2081, and as
World War Three ravages what remains of the flooded City of London,
Neo-Commando Payne and his team are sent on a last-ditch mission to where it
all began. As they fight
their way through Allied Forth’s machine armies, across air, land, and sea, a
handful of war machines from the past become all that stands between them and
total destruction! |
“Ey up! This is
the story of how I Captain Sean Hardgrave, became a quartermaster in the
British Commandos. Gather round then, you lot, and I’ll share my tale of how
I came to be who I am – about the friends I made, and the enemies too. How I
didn’t mind playing dirty. And how I never retreated. It all started
on a beach in North Africa back in November, nineteen forth-two…” |

Operation Barbarossa –
when the Germans betrayed their Soviet allies and invaded Russia. They had the
might of the Third Reich behind them and summer on their side. But seasons
change quickly in Russia… Partisan leader Olga
Goncharova was not afraid of the Germans. She stormed her enemies, cold and
deadly as ice, swift as arctic winds. She would be merciless. |
Corporal Tom
Gerrard of the Royal Tank Corps was just an ordinary bloke, easy-going and
cheerful. Colonel Karl
Oberth of the Tenth Panzer Division was a typical Nazi officer, brutal and
unforgiving. Somewhere on
the limitless, scorching inferno of the Western Desert, Fate decided that
their tracks should cross. |
Behind enemy
lines in Nazi Germany, agents Mary Western and Stephen Mailer must disrupt
and, where possible, steal enemy technology. Where any
advancement could give their adversaries the edge, this group of heroes known
only as “The Disruptors” must use their wits to prevent the Axis from getting
the upper hand – even investigating the prototype for the dreaded Me 163! |
To stay alive
in war you’ve got to have an edge over your opponent, something that can
swing the odds in your favour. It might be the element of surprise, or a
hidden weapon, but it’s always something that puts you one jump ahead and
keeps you alive. When he was taken prisoner, Lieutenant Neil Bel’s edge
seemed to be his ability to navigate the desert, but what he was relying on
was a piece of information which gave him a clear advantage over his captors. And he wasn’t
telling anyone what it was! |

Captain Grant Thor
has seen his team through the disaster at Kasserine Pass and onto success on
the beachhead at Anzio – but as the terrain changes and he finds himself
pinned down in a tiny Italian village, the stalwart hero crumbles in the wake
of the Nazi Panthers lying in wait. Imprisoned and
replaced by a man with more ego than sense, only Lieutenant Rick Kelly sees Thor
can help them hammer through to victory in their new M18 Hellcats – that is,
if he can convince the Colonel to give Thor a second chance! |
His name was
Mike Stone. He was a British Army sergeant who’d been stranded in the jungle
with four British prisoners – deserters and trouble-makers on their way to a
military prison in Rangoon. Normally it
would have been just a routine job – but this time their route ran through
Japanese territory. And Mike knew that not one of the prisoners was likely to
lift a hand to help if the going got rough… |
For the crew of
an 88mm Flak gun on the Eastern Front, life was tough. Not only did they have
blistering-cold Russian winters to contend with – but also wet and muddy autumns,
meagre supplies, thin watery soups, deadly Jabos attacks, brutish enemy
tanks, along with the endless waves of determined Soviet soldiers. What started as
a push into the Red Army’s homeland, soon became a retreat back into the
Fatherland, losing friends and crew members along the way. For driver turned
ammunition carrier Jurgen Stark, all he could do was try to survive his time
in the Flak crew. |
When the German
war machine rolled into France, it was the first taste of action for many
British troops. Most fought bravely, but some wanted to turn and run, scared
by the onslaught of bullets and bombs. Such a man was
Second Lieutenant Hugh Standerline. He had two fears – the fear of battle and
the fear that he could not live up to the heroic exploits of his father.
Little did he know that things are not always what they seem… |

Evacuation – again –
Just like in Greece. The Battle for the island of Crete lasted just thirteen
days, as Fallschirmjager rained down bringing death and destruction with
them. Aussie Corporal Ted
Olsen had mates who stayed behind in Greece and it got them killed. Now he’s
got a new squad and he’s determined to get them out safe. What he didn’t
count on, however, was the family who risked their lives to shelter him,
bringing the wrath of the Nazis down on their home. Now Ted must choose
between his men and his new mates. |
Lieutenant Bob
Hanson woke up, instantly alert, as the strong beam of an electric torch
illuminated the dark corners of the cave he was sheltering in. Then he
relaxed when he saw the men at the cave mouth were kitted out in British
paratrooper uniform. Bob knew these
men were amongst the finest, highly-trained soldiers ever to see action. But
his blood would have run cold if he’d known the secret of this special
groups, and what they’d be trained for… |
1941, Crete.
Men wage war on the largest of the Greek Islands leaving it in ruins. But
Cretan women are strong. Forged in the same fire as the ancient Amazons who
fought off armies of invaders on Crete before them, these women wouldn’t
crumble but rise to meet adversity with their faces to the sun. Like the
Furies, sisters and goddesses of vengeance, one band of Cretan women would
punish men for their crimes against Crete – with an arrow for every Nazi who
dared set foot on the island! |
Out of the darkness
they came, to strike at the enemy before he knew what was happening. Their
radar locked onto the target, the parachute flares were dropped to illuminate
their victim in a blinding glare, then down went the bombs. They were the long-range
Catalina flying boats, painted dark grey and flown by men of the RAF Coastal
Command. The Killer Cats, hunters of the night. |

When a shifty British
Officer is discovered in a crash in the deep Burmese jungle, Sergeant Obafemi
Agbaje, of the 82nd West African Division, is honour bound to assist him. But the Sergeant
can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t quite right about the chap! |
“Kafar hunu
bhanda marnu ramrod” – “Better to die than live like a coward.” This is the
Gurkhas’ motto, a code of conduct that was to be upheld. But it wasn’t just
for them, they expected their British Officers to also adhere to that same
code of courage. So, why then was
a Gurkha’s blade, the razor sharp kukri, poised to kill none other than a
British Officer? |
Five men found
the Dead Man’s Chest, hidden in a cave on a tiny Scottish island. Their eyes
were all greedy but soon one of them decided he didn’t want to share. |
The fearsome
fjord fighters from Norway were desperate to take the fight to their
homeland! Unfortunately for their CO, Lieutenant Rolf Amundsen, his Royal
Navy superior liked to do things by the book – and only by the book! But Rolf wasn’t beaten, as he was specifically selected by the British Commandos to aid them on a mission that would take his Motor Torpedo Boat and his crew right back to Nazi-occupied Norway! |

Murdo Conmore was
quick to join the Jacobite Uprising – too quick for his father and brother
Hector’s liking. Their only choice to save the family from future retribution
was to even their allegiance, and so Hector was forced to take up arms
against his brother. Then when the rain
fell thick at Culloden everything was at stake for Murdo and Hector Conmore. Each
knew that no matter which side won, both would lose. |
Seven men in
two dinghies, braving the cold swirling seas to attack a Nazi radar station
on a small Norwegian island that rises bleak and forbidden, like a mountain
out of the sea. And
the Germans waiting for them – Germans who had been who warned of the raid by
one of seven, a traitor who would earn a new name for this rocky outcrop…
Mountain of Death! |
There was
something stirring among the pines, where the sun doesn’t ever shine, in the
Hurtgen Forest in 1944. American
soldiers, ill-prepared for grim German weather, shivered the whole night through. But the savage
winter, cold and feverish rain, weren’t the only things they had to contend
with in those dark and mysterious wood. The men felt hunted by something
worse than veteran soldiers – stalked by something horrifying in the Hurtgen
Forest. |
Sam Burton was
a young officer on a frigate of the Royal Navy. One night, his ship was sunk
during an enemy attack and for about sic hours, he drifted around the
Mediterranean, clinging to a piece of the wreckage. Then he was
picked up by a cargo vessel and twelve hours after that he was in command of
it! And no-one had asked him to take on the job either – he had to fight for
it! |
