About This Content

From the early war “Blitzkrieg” in France to the final fights in Germany, this DLC offers the Commonwealth faction on the Western front. Re- live the British Empire’s Finest Hour in spectacular historical detail, in both multiplayer and singleplayer!
It features English, Scottish, Canadian and Polish forces, all with their own specific uniforms, equipment, voice acting and special perks.
A massive amount of multiplayer and singleplayer content makes this our largest DLC to date.

Singleplayer

Two singleplayer campaigns are included, each with a new level of cinematics, gameplay and detail.

The Commonwealth campaign consists of 7 scripted missions and 3 skirmishes, portraying the British Expeditionary Force in the first desperate days of “Fall Gelb” in the West, followed by the action on D-Day capturing Pegasus bridge and the offensive action around Caen. This is followed by action - packed missions for Operation Market Garden and the paradrops in Germany - you will be there from the first to the last day of the war on the Western front!



The German campaign consists of 5 scripted missions and 1 skirmish. This campaign depicts what would later be called “Blitzkrieg”; starting with the first chaotic but victorious days in France, fighting and surrounding the French and British armies as Rommel’s 7th Panzer (“ghost”) division, followed by missions later in the war defending the Atlantikwall and several counterattacks in Normandy and during Operation Market Garden. The grim struggle for control of the Scheldt estuary rounds out the war in the German campaign.

Multiplayer

“Finest Hour” also introduces the Commonwealth in early, mid and late war periods, with 4 doctrines for each period and 20 brand new Western front MP maps, plus all of the new weapons, vehicles and tanks.

Conquest

For conquest, 25 Western front maps are included. These use a new and unique set of assets, created to give you a good impression of the battlefields in the Netherlands, Flanders, Northern France and elsewhere.
The German conquest arsenal has been expanded for this DLC as well, to complement the equipment you would expect to find on any early war battlefield where these nations went head to head.

Visuals

Finest Hour introduces a completely new set of visuals with hundreds of highly detailed environment models; we’ve even added bagpipes!
There is added glossiness to the textures for higher fidelity, and we've manufactured over a thousand environmental assets, reinforcing the feel of authenticity for the locations and countries you fight in.
