Battlefront.com announced today the release of the first module for Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy titled Commonwealth Forces. The new module adds in historically accurate UK, Canadian, and Polish Free Forces units, formations, weapons and vehicles to the ground-based tactical wargame.

Also included with the module are dozens of new scenarios and QuickBattle maps, as well as two in-depth campaigns. Combined with the level of detail in both unit and tactical gameplay, Commonwealth Forces is shown the same amount of attention. 

The German Army has also received new formations, such as "Waffen SS" and Luftwaffe Field Divisions to round out the enemies the Commonwealth faced in World War II. They will be equipped not only with their regular field weapons, but also the infamous King Tiger and Jagdpanther tanks to face off against the Commonwealth's Churchill, Cromwell, Stuart and Firefly tanks.
