British Forces would be an unusual point of entry for someone new to CoH 2, but no a bad one. There's no campaign built around them (though one can certainly hope they'll get a starring role in something as good as the single-player-only Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault expansion), so the only thing you can do with them is play them in multiplayer and skirmish. The strange thing about the British Forces expansion is that it's a standalone multiplayer faction. They can rout a lot of the early game opposition from the other armies if they play their cards right, and gain a decisive advantage in map control and position. So the start of a match as the British general unfolds as a hell-for-leather land-grab where you have use those lethal Tommies to their best effect with a mix of micro-maneuvering and opportunistic entrenchment. While other countries are sending out engineers and green riflemen, the British have coolly professional killers who seem almost invincible if they get to cover. As opposed to the British Army in the original Company of Heroes, which lives and dies by its defensive structures and positioning, this new take on the army is exciting and dynamic at every point in a Company of Heroes 2 match.ĭespite being a more defensively oriented faction overall, the British Forces can profit handsomely with early game aggression thanks to some of the strongest infantry available.
The really interesting thing about the British Forces is that, even more than the other armies in Company of Heroes 2's military menagerie, they demand different approaches and tactics at different points in the battle.
