Bases

Allied Airfield

The Airfield is in the northwest corner of the map.

When controlled by the Allies, it spawns two Spitfires and a C-47, as well as an LVTP. When controlled by the Axis, it spawns a Stuka and a Schwimmwagen.

Facility

The Facility is in the southeast corner of the map. This large building is protected by an outer perimeter of wire fences and pillboxes. Inside the front entrance is a number of spinning turbines, with staircases leading to gantries above.

Outcomes

"The Allies mount a perfectly timed combined air and amphibious assault on the German facilities, thanks in no small part to intelligence gained by Norwegian resistance fighters. Striking hard and fast, they secured the facility and surrounding area with remarkably few casualties."

— Allied Victory

"Anticipating an attack, the Germans prepared ingenious defenses making full use of the surrounding terrain. Bombared from all sides, the Allied advance was ground to a halt before they could seriously threaten Telemark. With a victory in hand, the Germans are free to continue their atomic research."

— Axis Victory
