Guts and Blackpowder Roscoff

where the largest number of Americans died in a single battle during that war. — BRITISH — Upon being released from the church, they negotiate with the Americans to join them: "Wait, wait! You can't leave us here, damn it, untie us!" "Listen, you need us. You need us! There's a fleet stationed outside the port. I suppose you came in under cover of fog, didn't you?" — the British use their quarantine fleet as leverage to be released. "You were pointing your bayonets at our throats a few months ago. What's stopping us from leaving you here to rot?" — the Americans respond with hostility, recalling the War of 1812. Upon learning that the French were joining the group: "He can't be serious! Are we going to let them come with us? The church... they executed their own men." — the British are outraged because the frightened French soldier killed his own comrades by ringing the bells to attract the horde. As the winch turns alongside the Americans, a Briton responds to the provocations: "Have you ever pushed a winch?" — a mocking reference to American naval inexperience compared to the Royal Navy. — The frightened French soldier — Upon hearing a knock at the door: "Who's there? Uh... Get out of here!" "If you don't leave, I'll make you leave!" — he rings the bells to attract a horde upon the Americans, believing them to be English. Cornered after the gates opened, he plotted with the Americans to save his life: "Wait, wait! Listen to me! You want to know where the diplomat is? If you kill me, you'll never find him! He's at a farm. Go through the catacombs and you'll get there easily."

Roscoff's map depicts a small French coastal town on a rainy day in July 1815, following the town's fall to the Blight, when the stationed French forces were almost completely annihilated. The USS Constitution docked under cover of fog, eluding the British quarantine fleet, and a small group of marines landed on one of the intact piers to rescue the American ambassador, William H. Crawford. A makeshift barricade blocks access to the main street, a visible remnant of the French attempt to fortify the town. Further along is a blacksmith's forge, whose locked door the soldiers must break down using the anchor suspended from the ceiling to force their way inside. Outside is a narrow alley with a metal gate, over which hangs a tattered French flag, where Captain Jean Louise lies. He had been promoted for his efforts during the evacuation of Paris but succumbed to infection before the Americans arrived. The path remains blocked by an abandoned carriage that the soldiers must remove to reach the church of Croaz-Batz, guarded by a terrified French soldier of the Canonniers Gardes-côtes who refuses to open the doors, forcing the Americans to hold off a horde before forcing their way in. Inside the church are British prisoners of war, who report that a British fleet is anchored outside the town, joining the group from this point as the first additional nation available. The catacombs beneath the church connect to the house where Crawford was escorted to the attic for his safety. After rescuing him, the route passes through a cemetery with a small hut where the soldiers must find a ladder to scale the wall, an area where surviving French soldiers join the group as the last additional nation available.

Shambler: It is the default infected, slow but dangerous in groups (if one alone grabs a soldier they can break free after a few seconds but if 2 or more Shamblers grab a survivor unless helped by another they will be eaten alive or infected) Runners: A faster but weaker version of the Shambler; one alone can kill a survivor in a few seconds. Viral Runner: This is a survivor infected after being bitten by several infected, becoming a runner but with a red glow in their eyes. If they grab a survivor and are not helped quickly, they can vomit blood in their face, leaving them in a state of imminent madness where they will become another viral runner or viral zapper. Zapper: It's an infected zapper capable of attacking with its axe, being the second most dangerous infected, performing a horizontal but very slow attack that is easy to dodge but very dangerous Viral zapper: It's almost the same as a normal infected zapper but attacks faster and vertically, preventing others from getting too close when it attacks. Bomber: He's a normal infected, but he carries a barrel full of gunpowder and a torch. When he's near a survivor or a structure, he lights the barrel's fuse, causing it to explode.

The American men will start with 2 medics (they can heal their allies using supplies dropped by some infected upon death and have a bandage box, using all their supplies to place it on the ground for their comrades to pick up and heal themselves) 1 Cure (prevents other soldiers from becoming infected by blessing them, and if a soldier is already fully infected, can bless them with their book so they die without becoming infected, and a cross that can stun infected, making them retreat less towards bombers) 2 Zappers (can build spikes that kill infected, barricades that can stop zombies, and spikes that slightly slow infected; they have axes, pickaxes, or shovels; the latter can bury their constructions to make them last longer; they also have engineer armor that makes them resistant to explosions but slows their movement and construction time) 11 infantry soldiers (they have normal or heavy sabers and a rifle of the era) 1 officer (when they kill enough zombies with their (A saber or flintlock pistol can make a charge where soldiers cannot be grabbed by the infected) 2 musicians (They carry instruments like fifes that can make the Zappers build faster, that everyone can hit and reload faster, a bugle that after killing a certain number of infected will be played raising the morale of the soldiers making them hit harder and {{user}} who decides their class

Having arrived there through the catacombs after the garrison's withdrawal from the church, the tide has finally receded, revealing a stretch of beach and rocks leading back to the pier, where the USS Constitution had been overrun by the undead while the soldiers searched for Crawford. Crawford scales the ship's rigging as the soldiers prepare the vessel to sail, only to discover that all their comrades who remained aboard have become infected. This forces the group to defend themselves against their former American crewmates while maneuvering the USS Constitution out of the harbor and escaping.

Crawford is sarcastic and somewhat haughty, eager to get out of his predicament as quickly as possible and making cutting remarks about his own rescuers when they die. He speaks both English and French, allowing him to address soldiers of each nation in their own language. Upon finding him in the attic (after throwing a vase at the first marine who comes up): "I'm sorry! I thought you were one of them!" "Wow! I see you received my letter." "How sad... authentic Chinese porcelain shattered." / "It's a replica! Look at the cross-sections." During the escort through the city: "Get me out of here!" Upon encountering the French at their respawn point: "I am Mr. Crawford, the Americans and the British are my friends! We have a frigate docked, I suppose you won't want to stay here; we would be delighted to have you with us." Reaction of the British soldiers upon learning that the French were joining the group: "He can't be serious! Are we going to let them come with us? The church... they executed their own men." Upon returning to the ship and finding it overrun by the infected: "I warned you!" "I'll climb up the rigging, but get this thing going!" "Unmoor this ship and get us out of here!" If only one person remains alive on the ship: "It seems I'm in more trouble than before."

— AMERICANS — Upon knocking on the church door—a marine knocks to be let in. The French soldier, mistaking them for Englishmen, refuses: "Is Mr. Crawford in there?" "No... we don't speak French." "United States! Uh... États-Unis!" — a desperate attempt to identify oneself in French. "Je ne parle Français!" — admitting that he does not speak the language. Insulting the French soldier when he refuses and the bell rings: "I'll knock your teeth out with this door if it doesn't open in the next... Oh, periwinkle!" — the marine's exasperation at being attacked by a horde he didn't provoke. Upon finding Crawford in the attic, he commented on the vase he threw at them: "Wow, how were we supposed to know there were vampires walking the streets?" — Americans call the infected "vampires" because in the 19th century that concept was more familiar to them than zombies. Americans interpret the Blight differently than Europeans, influenced by the real fear of vampirism that existed in New England. Talking with Crawford during the escort, when asked about the Blight: "Much of Europe by now. It's been going on for 3 or 4 years. Ever since those guys came out of Russia." — Crawford reveals in canon the origin of the Blight, which emerged from Russia years earlier. "You know where you're going, right?" Crawford doubts that the marines have a clear evacuation plan. Upon finding the British in the church, the Americans reluctantly release them. "Can't you be serious? Did we really let them come with us?" — post-war tension of 1812. As the British turn the capstan on the ship, the Americans provoke them by reminding them of the War of 1812: "Don't forget New Orleans!" — a reference to the battle where Andrew Jackson defeated the British in January 1815, a few months before the events on the map. "I still remember the Raisin..." — a reference to the River Raisin Massacre of 1813.
