Well, fans of the Company of Heroes series can get excited as Relic and Sega announced the release of Company of Heroes 3. The last release in the series was Company of Heroes 2 from eight years ago. Most units in Company of Heroes are squads of multiple troops, but snipers work alone and go down fast if attacked.Military RTS games have established their place in gaming, and one of the more well-known series is Company of Heroes. Over the years, the developer Relic Entertainment has worked on the various installments to the series published by Sega. Snipers are extremely useful for eliminating infantry - especially infantry pinned by combined arms fire - but you gotta watch them. As my troops rush in from the eastern flank, a sniper I had ordered up from the barracks reports for duty. For about a minute, I think I’m a genius. Unfortunately, the pause command won’t tell you when you’ve made a critical tactical error. The game does a great job of capturing how overwhelming battlefield command must be, so it’s a welcome feature. Company of Heroes 3 introduces a pause feature, allowing you to give yourself a breather and queue up orders, making the game feel like Baldur’s Gate with a WWII skin. I shift some troops off the eastern flank to support them. MGs fix troops in place so my riflemen can pick them off. He hits me right where I’m weakest: The eastern flank is down a crucial machine gun position. This is a mistake: My guys are obscured, but they can’t see what they’re walking into. A mortar team supports them from the defensive line with a smoke screen. I send a small force: a rifleman squad supported by a 30mm machine gun team and a trio of engineers. I could push over the east bridge, stop the attacks before they start, and end the siege early. Jerry keeps up the attack, first one side, then the other, unwilling to commit to a single flank.Īs another wave retreats, I feel that great parasite of battlefield commanders taking hold: overconfidence. My machine gun positions and rifle squads, dug into foxholes or fortified in shattered buildings, hold them off. Small groups of infantry, supported by lightly armored half-tracks, probe my defenses, crossing the west bridge first, then the east. I’ve watched Band of Brothers like a dozen times and played a lot of games about World War II - what better training could you ask for? The dust clears, and my soldiers peek out of their foxholes. A hastily erected first line of defense - barbed wire, sandbags, and mines designed to slow down infantry - is annihilated by 88mm shells. Instead, heavy artillery hammers my forward position. Behind sandbags and barbed wire, my soldiers listen for the rumble of approaching armor.

My unit is outnumbered, outgunned, and exhausted, but Jerry has only two ways into the town, bridges, and we’ve had time to prepare light defenses. After securing the port city of Salerno, my forces dig in to await the German counterattack. Day 7 of the Allied invasion of Italy (in Company of Heroes 3).
