So, you figure you will build up a ground force full of highly trained soldiers, but your opponents will buy flame tanks, set mines, and lay machine gun nests in awkward corners and nooks between buildings to ambush you. You can try to muster a big force and roll over the enemy, but they will undermine your efforts, and build up counter defences to beat you.įor example, you may figure that building a bunch of tanks is a good idea, but your enemy (AI or Human) will send in air strikes to where you have hidden your tanks, and will build anti-tank guns and set them up around their base. It feels as if hundreds of other war games have been doing it wrong all these years. It has brought such a new and innovative feel to the weary and worn out premise of WW2. Build up your base quickly and smash them before they can recover. When they have just about finished turning your base to rubble, they turn around to see that most of the map is owned by you. What is more fantastic is that whist the enemy rolls tanks into your base, you can send out patrols of men (as few as one man) and capture all the points behind them. The great thing is that you can defend them with buildings or units, but you need to be wary of your resources. The more you capture, then the more you can have. You dominate a map by capturing resources for fuel, ammo and personnel space. You can lay down tons of fire on your unsuspecting enemies as they run away in disorder.

Then, you may upgrade it with four machine guns and suddenly it is a covering-fire destruction machine. It serves its purpose and it gets your engineers to the bridge so they can blow it up. For example, you may buy a half-track to carry around a few men. They seem to get better and better the more you explore them.
It is far more challenging than the skirmish modes, which may suit some people, but most players go for the Skirmishes especially the online ones. It feels a little scripted as you are railroaded into pushing the story forwards by recreating certain World War 2 battles. You can play the same map 100 times and never complete it the same way (on Skirmish mode). There is a fresh new feel, a fantastic game dynamic, terrific sound effects, gritty graphics and thousands of variants for gameplay. Company of Heroes may seem like a Command & Conquer type of war game, but it really isn’t.
