The Revolution
The army is inside the walls. Hold any district until the end of the week, or force a truce through the provinces and the foreign powers: Foreign Powers 60, the council minority 60, Opinion 0 or better. Every hostage and every fire will be remembered.
Objective
Hold any district at turn 28, or the Truce: Foreign Powers 60, the council minority 60 and Opinion 0 or better
Stars
- Win the level
- Win within 21 turns
- No landmarks burned, no hostages held
The game's hint Barricades, the Last Stand and the eastern faubourgs can hold for days, but a district left empty falls to the army quickly. Burning landmarks denies them to the army but costs Violence. Keep Héloïse out of their hands.
- Won
- The Commune survives
- Lost
- Order reigns
The Law
The army is in Passy and Chaillot. Retake all twenty districts by the end of the week. How you take them will be remembered: restraint, or no quarter.
Objective
Retake all 20 districts
Stars
- Win the level
- Win within 21 turns
- Every surrender accepted, Violence rise under 20
The game's hint Two regiments arrive every two turns. This week a stormed street is lost for good: storming takes 3 barricade levels and most of the district, and soldiers alone in a district take it over fast. If your Gendarmerie's loyalty falls under 40, No Quarter starts by itself: Violence +30 for every district retaken.
- Won
- Order reigns
- Lost
- The Commune survives

VI. The Bloody Week
For seven days the army took the city back from west to east, barricade by barricade.
One way “The Bloody Week” can end
When the week ended, some of the eastern faubourgs were still held. The truce that followed was the strangest peace of the century.
Otherwise
On the twenty-eighth of May the last barricade fell in Belleville. The dead were counted in the thousands.
If the Revolution used “Burn the landmark”
The Tuileries and the Hôtel de Ville burned. Their ruins stood for years.
Otherwise
The palaces did not burn. The army found them as they had been left.
If the Law used “No Quarter”
Many of the prisoners never reached a court.
Otherwise
The prisoners were marched to Versailles and put on trial.
