Through the early war period (1939-1942) German forces enjoyed great success - speeding their way across huge swathes of Europe with their revolutionary Blitzkrieg tactics. As the war progressed, they fought on every front - from the icy steppes of the Soviet Union, the dust-choked sands of El Alamein, the beaches of Normandy, to the rubble-strewn streets of Berlin. The German Winter infantry are fantastic for recreating battles on the Eastern Front, as well as Western front winter clashes of 1944/45 such as the Battle of the Bulge.
