Wacht am Rhein Campaign
The last major German offensive on the Western Front.
The first 5 days are considered one of the most effective for the entire time of this offensive operation for Germany.
By December 11-12, 1944, the snow that fell in November had already completely melted. After this thaw, the landscape of Belgium resembled late autumn or early spring with green, yellow and brown tones around. There was only dirt and fog everywhere.
For many people who are interested in history, it seems that the Battle of the Ardennes is a lot of snow and severe frost, but this is not entirely true. In the first week, the German army was stuck in the mud, but not in the snow.
Cars and tanks got stuck on dirt roads and green meadows that looked like swamps.
German and American photographs and videos that have a shooting date indicate that there was no snow until December 24, and other data indicate that there was no snow until the night of December 26. And only towards the end of December, and especially at the beginning of January, one of the harshest and snowiest winters in the history of modern Belgium began, but the cold weather quickly ended by the end of January the snow melted again.
All 4 missions of this campaign are dedicated to the first 5 days of the battle of the Ardennes. From December 16 to December 21, 1944. +1 bonus mission.
Most missions are large. Turn on the Fog of War. I recommend restarting the game after activating the campaign.
