(1945) Invasion of Normandy

Be sure to have fog of war on!

Hello, this is hopefully one of many campaigns(just a single mission as of yet!) that I will be releasing for the enjoyment of everyone who plays Men of War. This mission takes place in an alternate world in which the Axis Powers are still at the height of their power, but the Allies have begun regrouped and are doing their best to finally break the iron grip of the Axis of Evil.

You will be playing missions from all nations involved, but keep in mind, nothing is set in stone, and as campaigns are released, there is no telling who will fall as the 2nd World War reaches it's zenith.

Will the Axis push back the Western Allies and defeat the Soviets? Or will the Allied Powers break the back of the Axis War Machine and create their own world order? Or most likely, something in between. The enemies you face are competent and well trained, and neither your success or failures will go un-noticed. Your actions will be countered and you will have to use every part of your arsenal available to achieve victory.

This is 1945.

[SCENARIO HISTORY]
It's 1945 and the world is a dark place, the US had remained neutral and the combined forces of the Axis Powers now control all of North Africa, Western Europe, and Scandinavia. Britain stood alone, having fought for 3 years before having to sue for peace in 1942 as it's armed forces were beaten across the globe by both Japanese, Italian, Spanish, and German forces. They remain in New Zealand, Australia, Southern Africa, the Middle East, and the Home Islands. Despite the horrendous loss of life, Churchill vowed to the House of Commons to avenge those lost over seas.

The Axis didn't stop there, in 1943, the largest land invasion in history rocked the Soviet Union, however, despite early tragedies, USSR High Command had been forewarned about the invasion and made plans for fallback lines, it was there that Axis forces would bog down. However, heavy fighting continues today, as without any allies, the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine, having achieved supremacy over the Soviet Union, slowly begin to strangle the country. Despite having a surplus of resources, the blockade of Vladvistok, Murmansk, and the fall of Leningrad have cut the USSR off from lend lease, and the loss of Ukraine threatens to put the whole USSR into a food shortage.

However, in 1945, the Republic of China fell, falling into the Japanese Sphere as the Re-organized Republic of China. By this time, though; the US had recovered from it's economic decline and had raised itself into a worldpower while the world had progressed. Part of a planned agreement between the US and Great Britain, the Japanese Empire recieved a demand to evacuate all occupied British territories within the Far East. Feeling emboldened by recent victories however, and noting that the US Pacific Fleet was building up within Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Navy struck at Pearl without warning, and invade the Phillipines, Guam, and Wake Island. Despite early advances,however,they would only awaken a sleeping giant as the US entered the war. Shockwaves were sent through OKW command as Britain rejoined the war, followed by America. Caught on the backfoot, the Atlantic wall, while formibable, was under-manned, and they quickly sent several crack divisions west, slightly easing pressure off the Soviets, who in turn were now at war with the Japanese, as skirmishes erupted in Mongolia and Manchuria.

It's June 6th, 1945, and you are in charge of Allied Forces on Omaha, you are not alone however, because Allied forces are landing on Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword Beach, along with the largest airborne invasions yet seen. To make matters worse for the Reich, while the Atlantic Wall was undermanned, invasions in North Africa and Southern France have caught Axis forces completely off guard, and Italian, Vichy French, Spanish, and Afrika Korps are desperately redirecting their forces to halt Patton and Montgommery Armies in Morocco.

You are a part of a Great Crusade, you will be fighting dug in Axis forces, who are holding out until reinforcements come to their aid. Fight on, for you will be taking pressure off the North African and Southern French beaches! All over the globe, forces of the free world are launching counter attacks, and you are but one of many who hold the key in stopping the Axis of Evil for good.
