Scenarios

Battle of Luzon  (Japan - USA)

This new scenario involves naval forces. Occurring on the 22nd of December 1941, US troops in the Philippines pose a serious threat to the advancement of Japanese troops to the South, and that’s why the seizure of the Luzon island is important to the Japanese forces’ plans to gain dominance in South-East Asia.

Kerch–Eltigen operation  (USSR - Germany)

This new scenario involves naval forces. Occurring on the 31st of October 1943, Soviet forces prepared the largest landing operation on the Eastern Front to liberate the city, the port of Kerch, and the port of Kamysh Burun, and create a springboard for the further liberation of the Crimean peninsula from German invaders.

Battle for Caen  (Britain — Germany)

Occurring on the 26th of June 1944. One of the main targets for the allies in operation Overlord was the capture of the city of Caen as well as the nearby Carpiquet airfield.

Nordwind  (USA — Germany)

Occurring on the 1st of January 1945. Despite significant losses in the Ardennes, German command expected to break through the allies’ defensive line via an unexpected counterattack in the Vosges and on the Alsace plain.
