Company of Heroes: The Western Front Armies

Company of Heroes: The Western Front Armies is a multiplayer DLC that includes two armies for use, the Oberkommando West and the United States forces. Each army is a new faction with some resemblance to their Company of Heroes 1 counterparts.

The United States Forced resemble the United States Army in the first game and rely on flanking but with officer usage. The United States Forces can utilize smoke grenades and upgrade all infantry with weapons such as the B.A.R., Bazooka and M1919 machine gun from the weapon racks. Each unit is versatile in its role and can hold their own against the German infantry.

The Oberkommando West represent a depleted German army in 1945, with a mix of cheap and expensive units. They resemble a mix of the Panzer Elite, British, and Wehrmacht factions from the first game. Oberkommando West units can reach up to 5 levels of veterancy and upgrade base buildings via trucks.

Overall, this is a good DLC to anyone interested in the factions. The fair price should be about $10.
