Overview

Fortress Europe is a supplement (or "intelligence handbook") for the World War II miniatures game Flames of War: The World War II Miniatures Game. It covers the period of January to August 1944 ("Late War" in the game's parlance), and details the forces available to the major combatants engaged along the European Eastern and Western Fronts (namely, the Germans, British, Americans, and Soviets).

Fortress Europe is described by the publisher as updating (rather than outright replacing) the previously published intelligence handbook Flames of War: Festung Europa (Late War 1944). Festung Europa covered the exact same period and (essentially) the same forces. Accordingly, there is a significant amount of overlap between the two books. There are, however, notable changes; some point values have been adjusted and some units and special rules have been added, for example.

Released on November 15, 2008, Fortress Europe is a softcover book containing 160 full-color pages. At its release, it retailed (in the United States) for $40.
