Company of Heroes 2: Understanding Commanders and Campaigns in World War II's Greatest Conflict 'German Campaign'

In Company of Heroes 2, players take on various roles as either Soviet or German commanders during World War II. Each campaign offers a unique experience with its own set of objectives, units to command, and challenges to overcome.

The game features two main campaigns: the Eastern Front campaign for the Soviets and the Germany campaign which is our focus here. These campaigns are split into several missions that will test your leadership skills as you lead your forces through some of World War II's most pivotal battles.

Understanding Your Commander

Before diving headfirst into battle, it's essential to understand who you're playing as. Each commander has their own strengths and weaknesses based on their historical counterparts from the war. For example:

- General Winter: A Russian general known for his harsh weather tactics during winter campaigns.

- Guderian: Named after Erwin Rommel's mentor and one of Germany's most successful tank commanders.

Each commander also comes with unique abilities that can be used once per mission to turn the tide in your favor. These could range from calling down air support or even healing wounded troops on the battlefield.

Understanding Your Units

In Company of Heroes 2, each unit has its own strengths and weaknesses based on their historical counterparts during World War II. For example:

- Tanks: Powerful units that can deal massive damage but are slow-moving targets for enemy anti-tank guns.

- Infantrymen: Cheap to produce but lightly armored making them easy prey for enemy artillery barrages.

It's essential to balance your unit composition correctly depending on the mission objectives and map layout you're playing on. For instance, if facing a German opponent in an urban environment such as Stalingrad, it would be wise to focus more heavily upon infantrymen with SMG support due their close-range effectiveness against lightly armoured foes like grenadiers.

Tactics are Everything

In Company of Heightened Expectations: A Guide To Warhammer 40k's Blood Angels Legion 'Blood Angels', we stressed how important tactics were in winning games. This couldn't be more true for Company Of Heroes II either! Knowing when and where to deploy certain units can mean all the difference between victory or defeat.

For example, if facing an enemy with tanks such as Panzer IVs, it would be wise to position your own tank destroyers like SU-85s behind cover so they have clear line-of-sight without being exposed themselves. Similarly, if you're playing against infantry heavy forces like the Soviet Guards Rifle Regiment, try pushing forward aggressively using anti-tank guns and flameth thrower-equipped vehicles such as Churchill tanks or StuG III assault howitzers.

In conclusion, Company of Heroes 2 offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for World War II fans looking to test their strategic skills against other players. Understanding your commander's strengths and weaknesses is crucial before engaging in battle alongside correctly balancing out your unit composition based on the mission objectives at hand will give you every chance possible coming away victorious!
