The Revolution
The column is coming, sometime between the eighteenth and the twenty-fourth quarter-day (sooner if the Allies trust you, 60 or more). Hold the Hôtel de Ville in the Marais and the Prefecture on the Cité when it comes, unless the Prefecture has turned to your side, and do not let more than one bridge be blown. Only Fighters attack and build barricades; cut the wires on the bridges with any cell.
Objective
When the column arrives: the Hôtel de Ville and the Prefecture held (or the Prefecture turned), and no more than one bridge blown
