SOVIET: Extremely mobile core infantry allows for immense early pressure and options for aggression. While your units are versatile, plan ahead with what commanders and units you want to transition to, with many of your options being the strongest in the game for their cost. While your commanders are flexible, look to combine your core unit choices with a surprising commander combination to throw your opponent off guard.
The new Faction Player Sets now include all of the components to add an additional player, like command cubes, dice, infantry trays and more.
Company of Heroes, the World War 2 board wargame, is based on the video game from Relic/Sega. It closely captures the choices, tactics and mission strategies of the videogame. In teams, or as individuals, players will maneuver units and battle for control points to collect manpower, munitions and fuel. Players spend these resources to construct new buildings, purchase units and upgrade abilities, eventually unlocking the powerful end-game units of their nation.
The second edition of the Company of Heroes introduces extensive improvements to gameplay, tactical choices, unit balance, faction differentiation, mission parameters and more. It adjusts unit and building costs, resource generation and other mechanics to allow for more units to be purchased, fielded and used over the course of the battle. It so further tweaked and balanced units, factions and commanders to a high polish. These changes were incorporated with an eye towards emphasizing faction identity and distinction.
