🔥 Operation Hades' Gate 🔥One of the biggest Danish FoW events of the year returns, and this time, the gates of hell open in the Balkans.
🎲 A two-day narrative Flames of War campaign
📅 February 6–8, 2025
📍 Østerskov Efterskole, Hobro, Denmark
🌍 Campaign Setting & Storyline
After the Axis "victory" in Sicily in Østerskov 2025, the Allies are forced to rethink their southern strategy. In a bold maneuver, they launch a massive invasion of Greece and the Balkans, attempting to crack open the Axis underbelly once more, but this time from both East and West.
From the west: UK and US forces storm ashore in Greece and along the Adriatic coast.
From the east: Soviet forces have broken through Romania and threaten Bulgaria and even Turkey.
Caught in between: German and Italian defenders, desperate to hold onto their crumbling Balkan positions.
🔥 Welcome to Hades’ Gate where myths become battlegrounds, and every victory opens the door to either salvation… or annihilation.
⚔️ How the Campaign Works
Players will join Axis or Allied teams and fight for strategic objectives across Greece, Albania, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria.
Prestige Points are earned after each battle and auctioned at Axis and Allied War Conferences to seize objectives, request reinforcements, or sabotage the enemy.
🎯 Will you serve your general or your own ambition?
