About This Game

Armoured combat from D-day to the end of the war in Europe.

The M4 Sherman, the M18 Hellcat, the Pzkfw Vla/b Tiger - these are the tanks that rocked Europe from the June 6th Invasion to the fall of Berlin. 1944 Across The Rhine lets you experience a tank commander's view of this period of gut-wrenching armoured combat battle action.

You've got complete operational control: from a single tank platoon to an entire American or German battalion. Become part of a famous unit, such as the US 10th Armoured Division, and follow it through actual WWII combat scenarios.


Game Features:

  • Fight in battles and campaigns as a sergeant tank commander or at any higher levels of command.
  • Jump into armoured combat scenarios from different time periods between 1944 and 1945
  • Control battles using an easy pull-down-menu, point and click interface
  • Use real tank tactics based on the expertise of Brigadier General A. F. Irzyk. Commander 8th Tank Battalion from Patton's 3rd Army

Brings back a lot of good memories. This game was amazing when it first came out, in the heyday of Close Combat and Panzer General. This game isn't the easiest and it sure ain't the purtiest nowadays, but if you love World War 2 strategy with BN/CO level leadership thrown in, then I highly recommend this game. If you're more of a quick game/or pretty graphics type though then this probably will disappoint you.

The game has a few nice concepts but it does not seem to be very playable by today's standards.

Consider this more as a collectors item.

This is an interesting one, i have a real fondness for this game, it was trying to be like Harpoon but for ww2 western front tank combat. unless you have a love for retro games and all the difficulties they present UI wise some of them, you wont like this one. It offers the option to play at just a platoon level up to companies and battalions - at the platoon level, there is no much you can do. You can deviate from teh rest of the company but if you do so you will likely be destroyed as soon as you come across the enemy. it offers a 3d sim window but it is a novelty at most- you wont be able to get close enough to see the enemy before they destroy you, so its better to leave gunnery up to the AI unless you are with alot of support.

a battle can be confusing as to what unit you are in, at first, but you get the hang of it. the ai on all sides will go back forth on the battlefield as morale and loss dictate though it can just look like every unit is just running around like a headless chicken. despite all the flaws, i like teh game for what it is trying to offer and it can play as a strategy game, though if you wnat something more current then go with Graviteam Tactics Operation Star or the Close Combat games

An interesting looking game with neat music and features, but I don't know what the f**k I'm even doing... clicking random buttons.
If you've never played this before, good luck getting the concept down.

Pretty awesome game. Plenty of replayablility, reminds me of the days of Red Barron and Aces Over Europe with the old permadeath and persistant campagins. Manual can be found online with a quick google search for those who are ♥♥♥♥♥ing about it. For the price it's a nice trip back to the days of old.
