[h2]A new 10v10 map: Tannenberg[/h2]
There is more. As a FREE DLC, today we’ll also be releasing a brand-new 10v10 map - Tannenberg.

This map is freely inspired by the real battle of Tannenberg Lines (also known as the Battle of the Blue Hills) in northern Estonia. It was here that the 11. SS-Freiwilligen Panzergrenadier-Division “Nordland” made its famous rearguard stand and was successful against overwhelming odds. Throughout several furiously fought battles in July and August, the Axis troops held their ground against the might of the Red Army, including weathering storms of artillery bombardments and wave after wave of assault troops.
