Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces is the new standalone multiplayer release in this esteemed World War II RTS franchise. It is the perfect entry point into the vibrant Company of Heroes 2 community. By buying The British Forces, players who do not yet own any COH2 product can access all existing Company of Heroes 2 maps in auto-match, and play against all other existing factions in multiplayer or through skirmishes against the AI.
Play as the unconquerable Britons and their motley-crew of soldiers! A force remarkable for its diversity, including Englishmen, Scotsmen, Welshmen, Irishmen – representing everyone from the working classes to the upper class elite of the United Kingdom. Under the leadership of the fiery Sir Winston Churchill, this assorted mix put aside their differences and became the only remaining Western European nation to escape the grip of Axis-dominated Europe, before leading the final offensive with the other Allied Forces.

Just to add, it's a standalone title so you don't need Company of Heroes 2 to play.

Yup
"This latest multiplayer standalone entry in the COH2 series features this iconic Allied army. Experience a unique tech-tree that challenges the player to balance the constant trade-off between mobility and defense. Surprise opponents with your development choices and an open end game configuration."

Amazing. The BBC/Guardian would wet itself if it read that.

I think we've conclusively agreed on multi..

But it says you can play against AI, which is sort of single player "and play against all other existing factions in multiplayer or through skirmishes against the AI."

Then you can pay even more money to unlock command trees! Microtransactions are the best!
Nice to see they're copy-pasting more content from the first, more successful game to bolster things up.

I own the Dlc for this, I can assure you it's not a copy paste job from the first one. Tonnes of new units and structures. certainly worth a bash for £2.50 anyhow :smiley:

Weird how the base game supports Windows, Mac & Linux, yet this one is Windows only.
