Chicago Bootleggers: The Great Whiskey Raid of 1932
Summary:
Freight trains often were stowed with whiskey to supply the thirsty American citizens. It would be a quite a shame if all this whiskey would go to waste.
Description:
Cantilever Bridge was a popular location on the border to smuggle in whiskey mostly due to the remoteness and the fact that the local enforcement did not care about alcohol crossing the border. However, one fateful day with the help of a tip led to customs stopping the train and identifying the contraband. Being ill prepared, the local enforcement had no means to transport the barrels to be confiscated. This allowed the rum runners one night to sneak in and try to secure as many of the 80 barrels as possible. Will the law or vice prevail? Players will control groups of characters ranging from moonshiners, bootleggers, police and the FBI. Shoot, run over, or blow up your enemies, the game's limits are your imagination.
