As the cold months kicked in 73 years ago at the Battle of the Bulge, fans will take part in their own winter wartime experience -albeit from the comfort of their home. In the announcement of the Winter Siege event from Sledgehammer, the bid their own tribute to the soldiers who braved those cold months in their own Winter Siege:
December 1944 was marked by bitterly cold weather across Europe. It is also remembered for the last major German offensive of World War II – The Battle of the Bulge. Cold, hungry, and tired, the Allied forces bore the brunt of the attack and incurred their hardest fighting of any operation during the war.
