Mech's take the Somme

The Battle of the Somme, also known as the Somme offensive, was a battle of the First World War fought by the armies of the British Empire and French Third Republic against the German Empire. It took place between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on both sides of the upper reaches of the Somme, a river in France. The battle was intended to hasten a victory for the Allies. More than three million men fought in the battle and one million men were wounded or killed, making it one of the deadliest battles in human history. (wikipedia.org)

The real battle was the first use of the tank in warfare, however these proved unreliable. In this alternate history it wasn't tanks that the allies introduced, but giant armoured mech's marching across the battlefield destroying all in their way.

You must take control of your mech and navigate your way across no-mans land, avoiding obstacles and whatever else the enemy throws at you. When you reach the enemy lines you must eliminate any resistance and break through.
