This sees the inclusion of Charles de Gaulle on the French side, as well as Harold Alexander, the commander of the Expeditionary Force.

It also introduces ten all-new units to get to grips with, along with new buildings and ships. The expansion brings two new commanders, who have their strengths and weaknesses as do all the rest. With the Road to Dunkirk expansion, the battles that lead up to the great escape in 1940 can now be replayed, either from the British side, as they try to escape, or the Germans as they try to prevent it. The rescue of the British Expeditionary Force from the beach at Dunkirk, using a flotilla of small boats that set out from England to bring the boys home, is the stuff of legends. So, with all that said, how does the DLC add to the base game and is the Sudden Strike 4 – Complete Collection worth your cash? I present to you a breakdown of each DLC package that is included.ĭunkirk is still, to this day, one of the most famous parts of the whole of World War 2. If you’re lucky though, then you’ll discover reinforcements arriving as the levels go on, but ultimately taking cover and cleverly placing your units makes a huge difference to your chances of success. To be fair, as Sudden Strike is more on the realistic end of whatever spectrum Real Time Strategy games sit on, the thought of having a factory in a field churning out four tanks a minute does seem a little far fetched.Īnd so, in this game, what you are given is what you have, and if all your units are destroyed, it’s game over. Yet it’s a little jarring – at least for someone coming from a Command & Conquer background – that you can’t build more units when you want to. Choosing the correct commander, with their own perks that can affect the course of battles, is key to your success. As you would expect to hear from that, there are a wealth of missions included, taking in multiple theatres of World War 2, ranging from the fields of France to the Pacific Theatre, via Finland and more, all providing the opportunity for you to grab a commander and win the war.
