The verdict
A short, easy expansion for a classic WWII RTS, with three tank-and-hero campaigns. Skip it standalone at full price, or if you want new factions or long campaigns.
Great for
CoH fans wanting extra short campaigns, Tiger Ace tank action and skirmish play, bought cheap in a bundle
Main risk
Very thin content for the price, and the standalone version may not launch or connect online
What players love
Deep tactical gameplay and multiplayer
Mentioned in ~1 in 9 positive reviews
“Good balance of forces and many tactical options. Victory depends on tactics, not on a pile of units.”
