Story:
Set in the Fall of 1918 during the Battle of Cambrai in the Hundred Days Offensive, players assume the role of Danny Edwards, a former chauffeur who enlists in the war as a British tank driver. Edwards is assigned to a Mark V tank dubbed "Black Bess," and meets the rest of his crew: Townsend, the commander; McManus, a cynical gunner who doubts Edwards' abilities and the likelihood of the crew's success; and friendly mechanics/gunners, Pritchard and Finch.

The crew is assigned the task of penetrating German lines to reach the French town of Cambrai. As the battle begins, the crew helps capture key strategic positions on the battlefield and destroy several artillery batteries. Finch is killed early on while trying to repair the tank, and later on, thick mud bogs the tank down, with German infantry subsequently surrounding the vehicle. Townsend decides to summon an artillery strike with the tank's only messenger pigeon to save the tank, which McManus objects to vehemently. Pritchard is killed trying to release the pigeon, forcing Edwards to finish the job, which enables a British artillery battery to save the tank. Encountering thick fog in a nearby forest ahead, Townsend dispatches Edward as a forward scout to clear out German positions and guide the tank through the fog. After clearing the forest, the tank becomes beset with mechanical problems, and Townsend sends Edwards and MacManus to salvage Spark plugs from British tanks captured by the Germans. Early on, MacManus, considering the mission futile, abandons Edwards, forcing the latter to proceed alone. Edwards collects the spark plugs and returns to the tank. MacManus, having had a change of heart, returns in time to save Edwards from a nearby German soldier.

With the tank fully repaired, the crew proceeds to a nearby railway station defended by German forces. With Bess the only British tank in the area, the crew attacks the railways station to deceive the Germans into thinking that a large British offensive is underway. Successfully eliminating the German forces at the railway station, the tank proceeds to Cambrai, but is immobilized by a German artillery strike and surrounded by German soldiers. Edwards and MacManus are wounded while trying to defend the tank, while an injured Townsend sacrifices himself by combusting the tank, killing himself and the Germans. With Bess destroyed and Edwards and MacManus the only survivors, the two proceed alone on foot to Cambrai. Closing subtitles indicate that with the participation of more than 300 tanks at the Battle of Cambrai, the war ended a month later.
