So I’ll take a moral victory on that one, then fling my hands in the air to celebrate the fact that Relic thought of it long before I did. When I reviewed Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies back in July, I had this to say: “Relic seemed to have missed a trick by not including a Battle of the Bulge scenario - they’ve got the snow and the two armies involved, all they needed was a tenuous narrative link and a few objective ideas and mission layouts.” Little did I know that a completely different team within Relic was working on an expansion (I’ll call it what I like, damn it!) alongside the multiplayer-only pack based entirely around the Battle of the Bulge. Just hold out until then.// Previews // 8th Sep 2014 - 9 years ago // By Ryan Davies Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault Gamescom Preview In all, I would recommend getting it when its on sale for 66% off, which should happen often since CoH 2 is a dlc cow. I'm replaying it now with able simply cause I want their camo reward. I would recommend leaving out Able company on your first playthrough, as the other 3 companies unlock more useful bulletins. You also can unlock almost every USF camo through the campaign. You get some kick ass bulletins for USF from playing it that will help out in multiplayer quite a bit more than other bulletins. The real motif for getting and playing Ardennes Assault is the rewards though. They're absurdly good and ranger spam will let you blow through any mission you use them in if they're upgraded with schreks. The fox company rangers are only usable in the ardennes assault campaign. That being said, it is decently fun and similar to the Dawn of War Dark Cruesade campaign if you've ever played that (though much more watered down with less replay value). While I did enjoy it more than the soviet campaign, I wouldn't pay more than the $16 i paid for it and the fox company together.
