Streets of Paris

The Battle of Paris took place in 1944, a brutal interior attack launched by the French Resistance and Maquis supported by the British SAS and American forces advancing on the city.

The sight of many battles, in summer 1940 Hitler’s tanks rolled through it outflanking the Maginot Line. But in winter 1944, he launched a second assault through the trees, beginning the infamous Battle of the Bulge.

The largest amphibious assault in history took place here on 6th June 1944, where over one hundred and fifty thousand men stormed the Normandy beaches, setting in motion the Liberation of France.

A British raid in 1942 resulted in disaster, when over half of the attacking force, was wounded, captured or killed. However, it did show how strong the German defences could be, and certain shortfalls of the assault plan, as well as show the German forces the height of British and Canadian courage.

Port of Cherbourg

[image]

The first major port captured by the Allies in 1944, the German forces fought to the last, in a futile attempt to hold off the attacking forces. After a bloody battle, Cherbourg fell finally into Allied hands, little more than smouldering piles of rubble.

Normandy Hedgerows

[image]

A terrible problem for the Allies, the Normandy fields were bordered by hedgerows which proved brilliant defensive positions for German snipers and MG teams. The German forces with knowledge of the area caused the Allies great trouble, as the area had to be taken field by field, farm by farm.

Arnhem, Eindhoven and Nijmegan

The site of a major and risky airborne operation in 1944, British and American paratroopers fought off determined SS panzer units. In the small town of Arnhem, a group of paratroopers fought for eleven days solidly, when they had only been prepared for three.

St Nazaire

A daring Commando raid was launched against this German controlled port in 1942, codenamed Operation Chariot. This was the only dock on the Atlantic coast were German Battleship Tirpitz, could be serviced. Destroying it would severely damage the Kriegsmarine capacity, but at what price to the RMC?

Dunkirk

Over four hundred thousand British and French troops were evacuated from this Channel port in 1940, pursued by Hitler’s armoured columns. As the men waited on the beaches, the German troops drew ever closer as aerial attacks bombarded their positions.

Operation Dragoon

Another, less well known amphibious assault took place in France in the summer of 1944. Thousands of British troops invaded from the south, via the Mediterranean in an attempt to hit the Germans in a pincer movement, and outflank the infamous Gothic line in Northern Italy.

Open Area

Do none of the above fit the profile of the battle you wish to fight? Create it in the Open area, much like the original battles. This works exactly as the Open area in the Home neutral areas.
