Battles to the Rhine

Battles to the Rhine Expansion for Heroes of Normandy

After the break-out from the Normandy beachhead, the German army was on their back foot. The war was now going against them and Allied forces were advancing every day. However, the Germans were unwilling to roll over and still put up a fight wherever they could. At Viller Bocage where the German Tank Ace Cpt Wittman forced the British to pay a heavy price for every bocage line they captured, to the dogged fighting around Carentan, the rapid encirclement of the Falaise Gap. Through the bloody fighting of Operation Market Garden, to attempting to break the Maginot Line and the winter hell that was Bastogne. The Allies would still have a hard fight on their hands as they fought the Battles to the Rhine!
