How the campaign works
Your men. The men you lose stay lost. Replacements arrive where they did in history, not when you need them.
The ground. Every mission is fought on the real place, built from map data, with later buildings taken out where the ground has changed.
The debrief. After every mission, your result sits beside what actually happened: the outcome, the losses and the time it took, with the sources and where they disagree.
The missions
1. Scattered
Normandy, night of 5-6 June 1944. The drop behind Utah Beach has been broken up by cloud and flak. Gather the men you can find in the dark hedgerows and reach the Le Grand Chemin crossroads before first light. Shooting gives you away. Free to play.
2. Brécourt
Normandy, 6 June 1944. German guns in the hedgerows near the Brécourt manor are shelling the causeways off Utah Beach. A dozen men against a dug-in battery. The history.
3. Carentan
Normandy, 12 June 1944. Into the south-west entrance of the town that joins the two American beachheads. The history.
4. The Embankment
Normandy, 13 June 1944. The German counter-attack comes for Carentan with SS panzergrenadiers and assault guns. Hold the hedgerows by the railway embankment with bazookas until the American armour arrives.
5. Nuenen
Holland, 19 September 1944. Advance on the village with British Cromwell tanks, and find Panthers waiting. Easy Company in Holland.
6. The Crossroads
Holland, 5 October 1944. A squad goes forward on the dike at dawn and finds far more Germans than anyone expected. The history.
7. The Bois Jacques
Ardennes, 20 December 1944 to 3 January 1945. Hold the line in the pine woods above Foy through the siege of Bastogne, against probes, cold and tree bursts. The history.
8. Foy
Ardennes, 13 January 1945. Cross 300 metres of open snow and clear the village. Do not let the attack stop in the open. The history.
9. Haguenau
Alsace, mid-February 1945. A night patrol crosses the Moder in rubber boats, rushes a house the Germans are using, and must bring back two prisoners alive and get out.
Bonus: Noville
Ardennes, 15 January 1945. Two days after Foy, attack north up the road into Noville with tank destroyers. Keep the infantry with the guns.
The free battles at Brécourt Manor and Carentan and Bastogne are separate, stand-alone fights; the campaign follows the company itself, mission after mission.
