Everything worth knowing.

A detailed, evidence-led view of the product—not a generic sales summary.

The war on the Eastern Front rages on! Germany has suffered its most significant setback since the onset of the war as Barbarossa failed to bring the Soviets to heel. And now, amidst the freezing cold of the Russian winter, Soviet counter-offensives seek to encircle and destroy the invading Germans before they have a chance to recover. To hold the line, your elite Wehrmacht forces are once again called to action. BATTLING THE BEAR IN CHAPTER 5 OF THE AXIS OPERATIONS GRAND CAMPAIGN The Axis Operations 1942 DLC Campaign almost exclusively focuses on the fighting on the Eastern Front in this critical year of the Second World War, exploring both well known and obscure conflicts from this time period. This large, 17 scenario campaign offers even more content our players are familiar with and so thoroughly enjoy, as well as continuing to break out of those molds with several new mission designs. CONTINUE WITH YOUR OWN PANZER CORPS Players can import their core forces that completed the previous Axis Operations 1941 campaign or use a preset core force to directly launch into the Axis Operations 1942 campaign. While imported forces can seek additional growth and challenges through increased difficulty settings and advanced game modes, the preset force contains a moderate amount of experienced units and an assortment of heroes enough to allow any player to succeed in this new campaign. FIGURES AND MISSIONS FROM HISTORY In addition to the continuing trend of bonus mission objectives inspired by true historical events, this campaign will be supplemented by appearances from additional historical German leaders from World War II. While the appearances of these new characters into the various briefings and scenarios of the campaign cannot fully replace the loss of characters previous
