La mission : Votre histoire à Colchester

It's early summer, 1648. You're a young man living in Colchester. You work as a weaver's apprentice in the town's flourishing cloth industry.

But something terrible is heading your way. 
An advance guard of a Royalist army has arrived at one of the town's gates.

After some hesitation, they're permitted entry. The Royalist guard quickly secures the gates as they await the rest of their troops. Apparently, they don't plan on staying for long.
