We remain on the Eastern Front with our second Nemesis: DLC: the Nemesis: Lvov Offensive. This mini-expansion brings two brand-new divisions to play in skirmish or multiplayer: the Axis German 20. Panzergrenadier-Division and the Allied Soviet 10-y Gv. Tank. Korpus. New units include the Elefant heavy tank destroyer, as well as the unique Bef. Tiger (P) and Bef.

Transporting the action to the Mediterranean, our third mini-expansion is the Nemesis: Battle of Rimini, set on the Italian Adriatic coast. It pits the veteran Axis German 1. Fallschirmjäger against the Allied 2nd New Zealand Division. Two new Aces are included, as well as a host of units such as the British Bristol Beaufighter, Greek Martin Baltimore bomber, German (commandeered) Re.2005 fighter, as well as various new infantry units such as Greek Oplites mountain infantry, and New Zealander Maoris.

We bring the player to Operation Dragoon, the Allied invasion of the French Riviera in August 1944 with our fourth Nemesis DLC, the Nemesis: Storming Toulon. The Axis defensive-focused Verteidigungsbereich Toulon and the multinational veterans of the 1e Division Française Libre await your command. New units include Kriegsmarine Marineinfanterie, Commandos d'Afrique special forces, heavy Flak 38 105mm guns, M3 Gun 37mm, and many more.
Leading us to our latest Nemesis: DLC offering: Nemesis: Raid on Drvar!
What does Nemesis: Raid on Drvar bring?
Nemesis: Raid on Drvar takes the player into one of World War II's most unusual airborne operations: the ambitious Axis air assault to neutralize Yugoslav partisan leader Tito in the spring of 1944.
Unternehmen Rösselsprung - Operation Knight’s Move - was Nazi Germany’s daring paratroop raid deep inside the partisan-controlled territory. Instead of a checkmate, Tito and his guerilla forces successfully resisted the elite SS paratroopers, mountain soldiers, and Croatian ground troops.
Nemesis: Raid on Drvar gives you the command of two unique battlegroups in skirmish or online multiplayer: the Axis airborne troops of Unternehmen Rösselsprung and the partisans of the Yugoslav NOV. New units include fanatical SS-Fs-Jäger and SS Gebirgsjäger, Croatian Domobran, partisan Snajper, or British SOE special forces.
Command unique units such as the homemade Yugoslav Partop infantry mortar, M.28 heavy AA gun, Aufk. Panzer II F or the L35 tankette. The sky is filled with Croatian-operated BH-33E-SHS biplane, pre-war Yugoslav IK-2 fighter, the Ca.310bis Libeccio bomber, or Allied-flown tank killer Hurricane Mk IV Vickers and South African Ventura GR.V bomber.
