The verdict
A flexible, infantry-driven American faction for CoH2 multiplayer, strong early and mid game. Skip it if you want a campaign or object to paying extra for content that feels like base-game material.
Great for
Aggressive, infantry-focused multiplayer players who like flexible factions, ideally buying on sale
Main risk
Paying extra for a multiplayer-only faction many feel should have been in the base game

Weak against heavy armor, late-game issues

“A single panther (Or really anything heavy) with infantry support basically renders this faction near useless.”
