The fate of the World hangs in the balance as a big battle looms for Paris. The battle is fought and ends in a Germany victory, opening the entire French frontline to invasion. The French capital is occupied, and things do not look good for the Entente Powers in the West. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHowever, no gains come without giving something away.
