The Revolution
The general strike has begun. Occupy the works (one Occupied Factory per works, where you have 40 influence) until the Strike meter reaches 70%, and keep the Bridge between students and workers at 50 or more.
Objective
The Strike meter at 70% with the Bridge at 50 or more
Stars
- Win the level
- Win within 10 turns
- No riots at the works
The game's hint Both sides lose the Strike meter's share of their income. Joint assemblies at the works hold the Bridge together.
- Won
- The country stopped
- Lost
- The services kept running
The Law
Keep the Strike meter under 50% at the end, and the essential services running: no occupation at the power station (Bercy) or the rail yards (La Villette). Wage offers ease the strike; once the union's loyalty is down to 45, a negotiator can get a works to vote to go back.

Ten Million
From 13 May the strike spread from works to works until some ten million people had stopped.
If the Revolution won
The country stood still, and the government had to bargain.
Otherwise
The lights stayed on and the trains ran, enough to wait for the end.
If the Revolution chose “Force the gate”
The students forced the gate of the car works, and the union never forgave them.
Otherwise
The students sang outside the gates of the car works, and the workers waved from the roof.
