In June 1942, during the Battle of Gazala, OSS Sniper Karl Fairburne recently arrived in Tobruk with orders to hold Tobruk against the German army along with 35,000 British soldiers. Karl was gathering up his M1 Garand when fellow soldier Tommy came running into the battle to say that snipers were needed. Karl ends up gathering the rifle and leaves. He made quick work of the two German observers and proceeded to assassinate the final observer. When a German truck pulled up with a turret on the pick-up, Karl aimed his rifle and saved the men from being cut down. He quickly lit the truck on fire. He helped British soldiers repel General Erwin Rommel’s forces, but ultimately the port of Tobruk is lost. Fairburne goes to the Gaberoun Oasis in Libya to kill several police officers and reveal Vahlen’s whereabouts. He only finds a document revealing the name of Vahlen’s project, the Seuche Project (literally meaning “plague”). The long-range desert group requests Fairburne’s assistance in destroying several Flak 88s in the Haldaya Pass.
Fairburne’s only hope of finding Vahlen is to rescue a British informant inside Fort Rifugio formerly held by the British during Operation Compass. The man, Brauer, shares intelligence about officers meeting at the Siwa Oasis in western Egypt. Fairburne, whose sniping earned him the Wüstengeist (Ghost Desert) record label by the Germans, sneaks into the city and discovers that the police are planning to betray Vahlen to Hitler by giving him the general’s personal Berlin diary. Fairburne kills the postal officer and steals the book, which details Vahlen’s plans to conquer Europe when the Afrika Korps wins in North Africa, with their base of operations somewhere in the Kasserine Pass.
Fairburne and Brauer infiltrate the base and discover from a secret film reel that Project Seuche is a supertank codenamed Ratte. Tragically, Brauer is killed by a tiger tank, but Fairburne destroys it in revenge. He buries Brauer and takes a round from Brauer’s Lee-Enfield rifle. With the location of the Ratte production facility still unknown, Fairburne joins the LRDG in assaulting the German-controlled Pont du Fahs airport and finds a map leading to the facility, which is nestled within a giant canyon. He enters the complex and is ambushed by Vahlen, although he manages to escape and makes it to the production area. He prepares the snake Satchel to collapse the base and destroy Ratte’s prototype. He finds the tank and shoots cables holding the supertank’s massive shells, throwing them at Ratte himself. The tank is destroyed and Vahlen is mortally wounded under the rubble; Fairburne takes Vahlen’s Luger and kills him before escaping the base.
