Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts (PC) ... strategy game on the PC for ages but it didn’t quite do as well as it deserved – probably because the whole World War II setting is starting to look a bit overdone nowadays. This standalone expansion provides a second chance to experience not only the best strategy game for ages but also one of the few games to do anything original with the WWII theme. For a start you don’t actually control American troops in the game but either the British 2nd Army or the German Panzer Elite. (You can play though the missions as the U.S. Army and Wehrmacht if you have a copy of the first game to hand though.) The Allied single player campaign revolves around the Battle for Caen, shortly after D-Day, and features the three primary regiments from the campaign: the Royal Canadian Artillery, the Royal Commandos and the Royal Scottish Engineers. The unique way the 2nd Army’s technology tree works allows access to all manner of new weapons and tactics including creeping barrages, Horsa gliders and three variations of the Churchill tank.

Company of Heroes Opposing fronts is a real time World War 2 stragegy game, which makes the battle come to life! You can play as the British Army or the German Panzer Elite. You can play a campaign in both British and German mode. Interestingly, the campaigns are staggered so that they're in nonlinear order.

Panzer Elite is built around the idea of hard-hitting and ... Read the complete review
