Well with Opposing Fronts we have exactly that: two new campaigns, the first with the Germans defending against a British invasion, and the second the British’s own campaign. Yes, they were the bad guys and yes they lost, but nevertheless the reviewer would like them to have a better representation in the modern game industry, especially given how much the American campaigns have been beaten into our heads. On the rare occasions the British were featured it was usually in a token gesture, the Russians were sometimes featured but very rarely and the Germans never featured. How many times have we fought D-Day, how many times the Battle of the Bulge? It was all growing a bit tedious. The original game contained a single campaign, majestic though it was, and although great fun it regrettably followed tradition by only being about one side, the Americans. It doesn’t require the original, and while it shares the same basic game play its plot is disconnected in every regard with the classic game, save for sharing the same war. The long awaited first expansion pack to Company of Heroes is finally here, and much like Dark Crusade for its sister game, Dawn of War, Opposing Fronts is virtually a sequel in its own right.
