• A Campaign Game allowing you to follow the fortunes of your squad from D-day to VE-day through 6 Campaign Chapters. Will your squad be an efficient well-disciplined unit or the Dirty Dozen? Name your soldiers and track their skills and experience through the war. Deal with contentious relations within the squad, win medals, and form foxhole friendships. The Campaign Game chapters include: "Normandy", "Pursuit", "Hurtgen Forest", "The Bulge", "The Seigfried Line", and "Germany". Not all Chapters will be played depending on events - you may be transferred to the Ardennes and take part in the Battle of the Bulge while in another playing you are instead sent to the hell of the Hurtgen Forest. Campaign evets include U.S.O. shows, illness, arguments within the squad, R&R in Paris, replacements, etc. You will play Missions and Patrols during the campaign and each Chapter has its own Mission Tables with 100 different mission and a Patrol Table with 10 different patrols. Each Campaign will be unique, creating a new story each time you play.
