From the last brutal stages of Germany’s advance to the opening volleys of the Battle of Moscow, experience the chaos, courage, and carnage that defined this pivotal turning point of the Second World War.
- Coordinate with your logistics squad to deploy powerful support weapons such as the M1902 field gun and the DShK heavy machine gun.

Chapter Weserübung – Weserübung Devs
Chapter Weserübung sets out to bring new life to a rarely explored part of World War II. The German invasion of Denmark, also known as The Six Hour War, and the subsequent invasion of Norway under Operation Weserübung.
The developer’s current focus is solely on the Invasion of Denmark, beginning with a detailed recreation of the Battle of Haderslev, with plans for a potential second, yet-to-be-revealed map. These battles were fought between the Danish Jutland Division and Germany’s 170th Infantry Division, offering a diverse array of weapons, vehicles, and equipment that we plan to bring into the mod for an authentic and immersive experience.
While their attention is solely focused on Denmark for now, Norway is a setting they wish to portray and have not yet ruled out expanding the chapter to include the large variety of aspects the front holds.
Chapter Weserübung has completed roughly 20 custom assets so far, ranging from tanks and small arms to detailed uniform pieces. The team currently consists of just three dedicated members; aiming for a release of the Danish theatre and custom faction in early-mid 2026.
We highly suggest joining their Discord below to keep track of their development!

Turning Tides – Rising Sun Studio
In November 1943, while brutal combat raged in the mountains of Italy and across the frozen steppes of Russia, a very different battlefront was coming to life thousands of miles away in the vast, open expanse of the Central Pacific. Scattered like stepping stones across the ocean, the Gilbert and Marshall Islands remote chains of coral atolls and sandy islets were about to become the focus of a daring new campaign aimed at shifting the tide of the Pacific War.
Turning Tides is a community-driven mod project dedicated to bringing the intense, often overlooked battles of the Pacific Theater into Squad 44. Launched in the summer of 2025, the project unites passionate developers and history enthusiasts from around the world, all driven by a shared commitment to authenticity, immersive gameplay, and honoring the legacy of one of World War II’s most grueling and dynamic theaters.
At the heart of this chapter are meticulously crafted, 1:1 recreations of both Betio and Kwajalein Islands, presented as they were on the exact days of their historic invasions. Every trench line, bunker, and fortification has been researched and rebuilt with painstaking accuracy, offering players an experience that captures the full intensity of close-quarters island warfare.
