Has anyone set up a progression of single-player skirmish maps that depict some overarching campaign? Are there any other ways to have a sort of ad hoc campaign experience while using mods?Īny other thoughts on the single-player and/or realism experience are welcome too. Ardennes Assault is interesting, but AFAIK you can't enable mods while playing it.

Second, I'm going to be playing this single-player - what in your opinions offers the best SP experience vs the AI? The Soviet campaign is kind of bad. So first question, what are the best 'realism' mods available that favor slower & more strategic/deliberate gameplay? I've just gotten the Wikinger mod but am not sure what other ones are worth checking out. A historical realism, balance and proof of concept mod that aims to improve on Company of Heroes 2's core gameplay, BG:E utilizes heavily and carefully researched data for weapon penetration, unit speeds, armor values. Good game, but more a typical RTS in most ways.īut I do see a more realistic strategy game lurking under the hood, with the right modding it could really work.

I got CoH2 hoping for a more tactical & historical squad-based game along the lines of the old Close Combat series - obviously COH2 isn't quite that. Moves the battle away from the common Western Front focus of World War II and refocuses on some of history’s most brutal and devastating conflicts on the Eastern Front, challenging players to take command of the iconic Red Army and repel the Nazi invaders from the very gates of Moscow.
