Company of Heroes (COH)
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor
All great additions to the series.
I recently started to play COH due to the release of Company of Heroes: Eastern Front (Mod) which adds the Soviet Union as a playable country. I am now waiting for them to add in the Ostheer which will probably be done in a while.
Anyways, I consider COH as one of the best WW2 RTS games on the PC. Aside from the new British and Panzer-Elite which were added with Opposing Fronts. Tales of Valor offers 3 new mini-campaigns. The Falais Pocket, Catigny Causeway, and Tiger Ace.
The cool thing about Eastern Front is that it doesnt change anything of your original installation of COH. You can still play USA vs. Wehrmacht. or British vs. Panzer elite. You can even play British, USA, USSR VS. Panzer Elite and Wehrmacht if you want! The only bad thing is that it is still considered a mod, which means you cant play with people who have the Original COH, and not eastern front. But you can play with others who own eastern front, and just play as the vanilla countries.
As a matter of fact, I'm gonna play right now :D.

Its an RTS, so you build buldings, and then train units from them to build an army.
There are 3 resourses in COH, Manpower, Munitions, Fuel, and Population Capacity (Pop-Cap).
You can capture 3 different types of strategic points: Munitions, Fuel, and Strategic points. Fuel points add to your Fuel income, Munitions points add to your Munitions income, and Strategic points are simpily strategic points, having no value. All 3 points add onto your maximum pop-cap.
There are 2 game modes. Victory Point Value (250, 500, or 1,000) and Annhialation.
Annhialation is basicly a skirmish battle to the death.
Victory Point Value add 3 Victory points which add to a team's victory points total. The team that reaches the goal (again, 250, 500, or 1,000) wins the game.
Vanilla COH features: USA, Wehrmacht as factions
Opposing Fronts adds on: UK, Panzer Elite as factions
Eastern Front (mod) adds on: USSR, Ostheer (not yet) as factions.
Battle of the Bulge (mod) adds on: Allies, Axis as factions. They are basicly Wehrmacht and Allies but with Opposing fronts content integrated.
Other mods such as: Operation Market Garden, Europe in Ruins, and Crosses of Iron, all add new gameplay mechanics, and a cool almost RPG-like feel.
