OST v5 drops you into the early days of World War II when the German blitzkrieg shattered the illusions of the Allied armies.
It isn’t about the sweeping historical maneuvers, it’s about the granular, boots-on-the-ground chaos of small unit combat. Every hex is a decision, and every decision can mean life or death your troops.
The French side commands Regular army as well as Colonial troops. Also some of the best early war tanks, such as the Char B1bis and Somua S35, are under their control.
The German opposition fields highly mobile Motorcycle troops and armored cars, as well as an allotment of early panzers
