And while I didn't get to play with them directly, it's also been confirmed that we can gain access to Italian partisan units, representing the local paramilitary fighters who resisted the fascist regimes of Hitler and Mussolini. I was particularly excited to see the Nepalese Gurkhas, one of the most fabled units of the war, finally making their appearance.
COMPANY OF HEROES LORE SERIES
In service to this philosophy, Company of Heroes 3 will have a greater diversity of infantry units than the series ever has, representing many different tactical roles and the wide array of nationalities that participated in the Italian campaign. But the addition of new tools like dedicated bazooka squads and more limited availability of fuel create new niches for light vehicles and keep the riflemen, engineers, and machine gunners at the core of the action. Tanks, for instance, now have a separate side armor value apart from that of their front and rear, which opens up new tactical possibilities. This isn't to say vehicles aren't getting any love. Appropriate to the Italian theater in which much of it is set, you won't see matches quickly ramp up to giant tank battles that trivialize other elements of your roster. But it definitely wasn't as universally beloved as the first, and I can understand why.įirst off, Company of Heroes 3 is mostly focused on infantry warfare.
Company of Heroes 2 took a lot of chances, and for my part, I really enjoyed it – especially the excellent Ardennes Assault expansion. When I first got a look at Company of Heroes 3, one of the first things Relic brought up was the decision to make the new game more like the original Company of Heroes than its sequel.
