I currently writing our Xmas break game (traditionally run on 27 December).

It's another WW2 adventure featuring Mags Maltravers, an NPC who consistantly got bigger and bigger in games until promotion to PC was finally unstoppable.The wild child of the 1920s and later 'good time girl had by all' of the 1930s finally had to grow up in wartime.

After a career working for Reggie Fairfax (my 1920s/30s PC) in Cairo as an information gatherer, 1944 finds her in Italy with Reggie after having progressed to a more hands-on (pistol butt) intelligence agent. After accompanying the aging Reggie on two behind the lines missions, this new mission will see her and Reggie sent to Milan to intercept a rogue MI6 agent who plans to kill a German general.

The general is working for the Allies, screwing up German logistics and making sure supplies fail to reach the front line troops in time during Allied attacks. His assistance will be vital during the 1945 Spring offensive to drive the Germans from Italy.The general is also a serial killer who targets beautiful young women. One of his victims was an Italian woman who worked for MI6.

The rogue agent was her case officer, and also her lover. He has refused to be recalled and has gone 'off the reservation' - MI6 have no idea where he is, but they know he is travelling to Milan. Mags and Reggie have been ordered to find him, bring him in, or 'deal with him'. Protecting a sex killer in the process, 'for the greater good'.

God knows how they are going to square that circle.
