From the base game’s battles on the Normandy beaches, to the Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor expansions as the fighting moves inland, all three campaigns — totalling 41 missions — are present and correct.
Command two crack companies of American soldiers and direct an intense campaign in the European Theater of Operations starting with the D-Day Invasion of Normandy.
Take on two new campaigns from either side of the war in the first expansion for Company of Heroes.
Lead the highly mobile 3rd Battalion of the British 2nd Army (aka Boudica’s Boys) in their armoured assault on the city of Caen. Employing Mobile Command Trucks and skilled field commanders, the battalion faces a tough fight to prise this key stronghold from the grip of German forces.
In the months following the D-Day landings, the German Panzer Elite mobilise to foil the Allied advance, Operation Market Garden. This heavily mechanised force specialises in speed and overwhelming firepower, with customisable halftrack personnel carriers offering unmatched versatility. The Panzer Elite campaign sees commanders sabotaging the bridges of Oosterbeek to slow the Allied advance, and attempt to cut off British reinforcements as they make their way north towards Arnhem along Hell’s Highway and towards Arnhem and Germany.
Opposing Fronts also unlocks these forces for use in Skirmish battles, and adds new tutorials to help familiarise commanders with the tactics at their disposal.
Tales of Valor completes Company of Heroes with three new campaigns set in the summer of 1944:
Experience the action that made Hauptmann Voss, the main game’s chief antagonist, a legend. Take the helm of his fearsome Tiger Tank and leave British armour in smoking ruins, en route to the battle of Villers-Bocage.
Regarded by many as a liability and a faint heart, Sgt Frank Craft of the 82nd Airborne Division finds redemption in the capture of the La Fiere Causeway, a key line of advance from the Normandy beaches for the Allied forces.
The base game’s explosive finale saw the Allies secure the Falaise Pocket. Tales of Valor’s third campaign flips the perspective, putting you in command of the Waffen-SS Panzergrenadiers and Wehrmacht troops entrusted with securing the German 7th army’s escape from the besieged area.
By completing these campaigns, players unlock nine new vehicles split between the US Army, the British 2nd Army, the Wehrmacht and the Panzer Elite – all for use in Skirmish mode.
