From BoardGameGeek
After the debacle and breakthrough of the German army, France came under German occupation. Faced with a sense of injustice, some intellectuals begin to revolt and organize the beginnings of the French Resistance. Liberation features an asymmetrical confrontation between the occupying forces and the French Resistance. The occupier can be played by one player or in the form of an automa. The Resistance players each lead their own maquis, fighting together to liberate the country. In a cat-and-mouse game, the Resistance fighters carry out missions while the occupying forces set traps and capture the brave fighters. The game features 5 main scenarios, ranging from 1940 to the liberation of Paris in 1944. Each scenario has its own twist, forcing players to play differently. The game can be played per scenario, or as a campaign (non-legacy) where each scenario has a bearing on what happens next. -description from the designer
