Sudden Strike 5 – France: Road to Liberation DLC Release Trailer

Across six new historically inspired missions, Sudden Strike 5 – France: Road to Liberation revisits the events of Operation Dragoon in August 1944, placing generals on both sides of the battle. Take command of the liberation in three missions as Allied forces fight inland from Camel Beach toward the liberation of Toulon before seizing Hill 300 to sever Germany’s escape route. Flip the script in the next three missions to the other side of the front, Axis commanders must hold collapsing defensive lines long enough to cover a desperate withdrawal under mounting Allied pressure.
