The Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces is a real-time strategy videogame developed by Relic Entertainment and published by Sega. As with the original Company of Heroes 2, the game is set in World War II but with the focus on introducing units from the British army. Combat includes controllable units that are recruited and ordered directly by the player, as well as activated support actions, such as artillery bombardment or air cover suppression. Every controllable unit type, whether infantry or vehicle, has an associated construction cost and recruitment time, as well as a range of fighting abilities. Vehicles and infantry can eventually be upgraded by purchasing specific capabilities. Upgrades generally improve the unit’s effectiveness. Some upgrades are global, granting immediate benefits to all deployed units, while others must be purchased on a unit by unit basis. Most combat takes place through direct, line-of-sight engagements. One of the major differences between other Company of Heroes 2 armies is that players can decide between two approaches to their British forces. As players progress through the British tech tree they’re given a choice of selecting the defensive-based structure ‘anvil‘ approach or alternatively going with the ‘hammer‘ approach that focuses on mobile and powerful units. The expansion’s content includes a total of 15 units, six commanders with unique abilities, and eight multiplayer maps that range from a German steelworks factory to the city of Düsseldorf.
