About this DLC
Under the cover of darkness, they came – silently across the waves… In Sudden Strike 5 – France: Road to Liberation, deploy to one of the most decisive chapters in the liberation of France! Following D-Day, you’ll be joining the fight in a new Allied landing operation in August 1944.
Storm the shores of Camel Beach alongside Allied forces, fight together with the French Resistance, and command operations across six new missions set in Southern France. From the chaos of the Allied beach landings to the Axis retreat through the Rhône Valley, every battlefield presents a new tactical challenge that will test your strategic skill!
