Epsom, February 18th – The battle in Headquarters: World War II rages on, as Slitherine and developer Starni Games are proud to announce the release of the Ardennes DLC, bringing players to the snow-covered battlefields of one of the most pivotal engagements of World War II. This new expansion follows the success of the Market Garden DLC and introduces a wealth of new content, tactical challenges, and historical depth.
The Ardennes DLC plunges players into the brutal winter of 1944, where the German army launched a desperate counteroffensive in the hopes of turning the tide of war. At the heart of this battle was the siege of Bastogne, where American forces, surrounded and outnumbered, famously responded to a German surrender demand with a single word: "NUTS!"
