Sudden Strike 4: Road to Dunkirk

In Sudden Strike 4: Road to Dunkirk, relive battles leading up to one of the world‘s most daring military rescue missions. Following the invasion of France in May 1940, the British Expeditionary Force and parts of the French Army had retreated to Dunkirk and awaited evacuation, while German forces had been closing in to crush them.

FEATURES:

• Sudden Strike 4: Road to Dunkirk features two new mini-campaigns with four new singleplayer missions based on the events surrounding the famous rescue of Allied soldiers in the eponymous French coastal town of Dunkirk during “Operation Dynamo”.
• In the German campaign, you must successfully break through the valiant French defenses in the Battle of Lille, capture the town of Dunkirk and move on to destroy a British battleship. In the Allied campaign, you will launch the British counter-offensive during the Battle of Ypres-Comines and consequently evacuate as many soldiers as possible during “Operation Dynamo”.
• Two new Allied doctrine commanders to choose from: French war hero Charles de Gaulle and British Expeditionary Force division commander Harold Alexander complete your strategic options in tackling each mission.
• Sudden Strike 4: Road to Dunkirk introduces over 10 all-new units to the game, including the German SIG 33 Bison artillery, the French Char B1 heavy tank, the British A10 Cruiser Mk. II medium tank and destroyer HMS Ivanhoe.

Sudden Strike 4 sends you off on three extensive campaigns set amongst the battlefields of World War II.

Commanding the Allied, German or Soviet troops, you will lead over 100 different units into battle; like the German bomber Heinkel He111, the Russian T-34 tank, the British Hawker Typhoon fighter plane and the notorious German Panzerkampfwagen VI "Tiger".

In a first for the Sudden Strike series, you can now choose from one of nine individual commanders, such as George Patton or Bernard Montgomery, who will each allow for different approaches to combat and boast unique abilities.

Prove your strategic expertise in over 20 demanding singleplayer scenarios, the challenge-focused skirmish mode and the ultra-competitive multiplayer mode via Internet.

Exploit the weak spots of tanks, set up an ambush, occupy buildings with infantry, outmaneuver the enemy with clever positioning or unleash devastating air strikes – how you approach each mission is up to you!

Modding support with Steam Workshop integration.
