Explanation:
Until, you can reply to my message with more info.

here is a suggestion : If this is a computer game, you could have a play on words here between :
"brothers in arms" and "high commander of arm forces" (the latter being at times also names "higher commander in arms") and "give me your hand/your arm".
In this case you could have "passez-moi le bras (droit?) du commandant en chef et nous gagnerons la bataille. Or any other solution.

Or is this a lot more simple, and is thsi arm a synonym for weapon? Passe/passez-moi l'arme du général des armées et nous gagnerons la bataille?. Le-dit général, ets-il tombé à terre? Ou il y a-t-il une arme cachée ou protégée quelque part, voire une botte secrète?

Plus d'info, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!
