About

Diary of Corporal Wilson, March 7th, 1945.

Somewhere near Remagen, Germany.

We’ve successfully crossed the Remagen bridge – an unexpected advance. Our swiftness was key. The day was cold, thankfully no snow fell, but still our breaths turned into wisps in the frosty air. Yet, we pressed on, outmaneuvered their Pak 40 positions with our Shermans, secured the eastern bank with a barrage from 75mm M1 Howitzers, and advanced before they could respond.

The entire setup was designed to explode—yet we acted too hastily. They didn’t get the chance. It wasn’t about brute force, but timing, strategy, and precision. Every action mattered, and we managed to cross over! This could very well mark the start of the end for this brutal conflict.

In simple terms, Sudden Strike 5 offers exhilarating real-time strategy in grand World War II conflicts. With an array of tactical choices and over 300 deployable units, you can devise numerous strategies to accomplish your goals across a 25-mission campaign set on authentic battlefields in Europe and North Africa.

The crucial element is timing: grab chances such as occupying tactical positions for reinforcement arrival or collapsing bridges to impede the enemy’s advance. Outwit your opponents, control resources wisely, and be where it matters most to sway the course of conflict in your favor.

Choose your tactics wisely—we’ll meet you in the trenches!
