Lock 'n Load Tactical: Battles to the Rhine

Explore Lock 'n Load Tactical: Battles to the Rhine

Into Germany and the End of the War

Battles to the Rhine continues the fight in Northwest Europe after the Allied breakout from Normandy. German forces are in retreat, but they still resist with skill and determination. From the ambush at Villers-Bocage led by German tank ace Michael Wittmann to the brutal fighting around Carentan and the closing of the Falaise Pocket, each battle tests Allied momentum. The struggle continues through Operation Market Garden and into the frozen forests around Bastogne, as the road to the Rhine becomes a hard campaign.

This expansion for Heroes of Normandy places you in the center of these late-war clashes. You command British, Canadian, and American forces as they push against experienced German units defending key terrain across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
