About This Content

Allies Victorious is the last part of the Allied trilogy for Order of Battle. The new DLC depicts battles from the Allied Normandy landings in summer 1944 to the end of the war in Europe.

The campaign began on D-Day, 6 June 1944, with Operation Overlord, the large-scale amphibious assault to land Allied forces in northern France. Afterwards, the player has to secure the rest of Normandy, and needs to defeat substantial German forces in the Falaise pocket. Following a successful breakout from Normandy the liberation of Paris is in reach.

The next part of the campaign deals with the Allied struggle to drive the Wehrmacht out of western Europe. Will Operation Market Garden, a massive airborne assault in the Netherlands, enable a quick advance into Germany? Or will it turn into a costly failure? Can the Allies swiftly seize the vital supply hub that is the port of Antwerp?

At the end of 1944, you will have to defeat the Wehrmacht in France, and liberate Western Europe to finally lead Allied forces into Germany in the last stages of the campaign. Here you have to cross the river Rhine, and need to battle the Wehrmacht for control of the German industrial heartland in the Ruhr valley, before advancing further to the Elbe river.

Like all previous DLCs, Allies Victorious also adds a number of new units for both Allied and Axis countries, and a few new Allied commanders.
