Flames of War: WW2 - Fortress Europe (Hardcover)

Manufacturer: Battlefront Miniatures

As 1944 began, the British and American forces in Great Britain were preparing for their return to France in the D-Day landings. At the same time the Armies in Italy looked towards Rome, planning the battles that would capture the first Axis capital to fall in the war.

While the Western Allies planned, the Red Army was fighting the brutal battles that would take them from Leningrad to the borders of Poland clearing the Motherland of the Fascist invaders.

Fortress Europe contains the US, German, British, and Soviet forces involved in these dramatic campaigns at the beginning of Late-War, leading up to the D-Day invasion. These give you everything you need to field these forces, including M4 Sherman tanks, up-gunned Sherman Firefly tanks, the powerful M10 17pdr tank destroyer, up-gunned T-34/85 medium tanks, and the feared Tiger & Panther tanks that have guns capable of penetrating the armour of any other tank.
