Steel Division 2 - Nemesis #4 - Storming Toulon

Nemesis: Storming Toulon highlights the Allied invasion on the sunny French Riviera in the summer of 1944: Operation Dragoon. Once housing the French Mediterranean fleet, the Axis-controlled Toulon naval base's capture was critical to keep the supplies flowing for the Allied forces in Europe.

Story

Veteran Free French divisions were tasked with securing the vitally important port of Toulon as soon as possible. Advancing rapidly after landing, the Allied troops gave the local Axis defenders little time to prepare. Heavy urban combat ensued, which lasted several days. Originally envisioned to take two months, the liberation of Toulon was achieved by the 20th of August after a bitter contest between the local German garrison and veteran Free French soldiers.

Verteidigungsbereich Toulon

With Nemesis: Storming Toulon, the Axis battlegroup is Verteidigungsbereich Toulon - the ad hoc garrison ordered to defend the port at all costs. A large number of different troops can be deployed, including regular Grenadiere, Kriegsmarine Marineinfanterie, Marine-Einsatzkommando 71 (MEK), stranded U-boot crews, elite Brandenburg special forces and Italian San Marco naval infantry.

1e Division Française Libre

The torchbearers of the Free Fighting French, the 1e Division Française Libre was the real deal. This illustrious veteran formation came with a hefty dose of combat experience, taking part in battles ranging from Norway to the Middle East, North Africa, and Italy, before being deployed to liberate their homeland in Operation Dragoon.
