Campaigns

The Japanese Empire's far-flung defenses crossed the islands of the Pacific. One of the turning points of the war was the Battle of Guadalcanal. Amphibious tanks and hydroplanes were used, aircraft carriers gave their support from the sea, and in desperate situations, the Japanese destroyed the equipment of the enemy at the cost of their own lives.

At this stage of the war, Moscow is visible to German commanders through binoculars. The decisive offensive passes through snow covered villages and towns, uncovering multiple defensive positions. Soviet troops have nowhere to retreat to - battles will continue until the last soldier standing.

The Allies land on the beaches of Normandy and under heavy fire storm the powerful German defenses to open up a foothold for the Allies for a full scale landing.

The German government quarter is not only home of the Reichstag but also to many other important places like Hitler’s bunker. Control over them is an essential goal of the Soviet army that has entered the city. But the more experienced soldiers stand in the last line of defence.

Tunisia opens up additional routes for an offensive into Europe, therefore it is strategically vital for Germany. In African cities and the red-hot desert sands, the Allies oppose one of the largest armies of the Third Reich.

Both Germany and the USSR spared nothing in this battle. Control over Stalingrad opened access to the large oil deposits of Caucasus. Also, taking Stalingrad might persuade other countries in joining the Axis in an active fight.
