The other new addition, the US Forces, are much lighter and cheaper than the hulking German tanks. It's a really clever way to mechanically reinforce the incredible speed of the German forces during World War 2 while bringing a bit of diversity to the game's play styles. At any point, a truck can be put back together and moved to a new point to help manage troops in the new area, or flee an endangered position. These command centres can function as forward retreat points or cover for your infantry as well as opening up unit conscription options. At the beginning of each game, instead of starting with standard headquarters that are upgraded and reinforced over time, they have a supply truck that can be broken down and repurposed as an impromptu command centre anywhere within your territory. The Oberkommando are mobile and armour-heavy. Each helps balance out the original game's armies while bringing their own twist focused on their respective factions' role and abilities in history. With the Western Front Armies expansion - a standalone, multiplayer-only add-on - that design philosophy gets a bit of a boost with the US Forces and the German Oberkommando West. By building play around capture points over standard resource-accumulation, players can press weaknesses in an enemy line and can always have at least one option open for progression. Available from Steam and direct from SegaĬompany of Heroes is defined by these kinds of dynamic wins.£9.99 for each faction, £14.99 for both.After a few minutes of rapid movement and harassing my opponent's tanks, I had managed to largely immobilise them and quickly capture the strategic points I needed to reinforce my position and push the last of the German forces out of the fields of France.
So I used a few rounds of covering artillery fire, forcing the tanks to back off for a few seconds, allowing a quick opening for the last of my infantrymen. Then I saw an opening: a narrow path that looked relatively unguarded.
Completely surrounded, with German tanks pressing their advantage against the last of my bazooka-wielding riflemen, I figured I'd lost.
