The European front of WWII. All of the Ubisoft games they've made so far, there's neutral territory everywhere, making it easy to blend in or hide or set up Assassin hideouts. Imagine being in enemy territory 100% of the time, you have to be discreet with communicating with allies, there are traitors and spies everywhere, and you're constantly in danger. Less hideouts, so you have to think on your feet most of the game.
