So, since I've enjoy the time spent playing it I've bought Ardennes Assault. Actually the Soviet Campaign was quite easy on standard difficulty. I'm no great RTS player, but I've managed to complete CoH1 campaigns and CoH 2 Soviet Campaign without major hiccups. I would have been more happy to have just purchase a multi-player map update for the first than to have paid money for this piece of crap which seems to have in every way possible made a beta version which pales by comparison to the first and yet I still desperately want to find a reason to like it but unfortunately I find playability to be of paramount importance and level of detail should come second in strategy games.I'm currently playing the AA campaign for CoH2 and seriously struggling to go ahead. The new game map is tacky and overly colourful and the transition button is non existent in some campaign's. This just made me more frustrated as the zoom was so far in its impossible to move your troops in a meaningful way to use them as a replacement to the original defences. Adding more playable countries sounded great but it actually made the game more confusing as allot of the options in the first were removed such as the snipers, tank traps and machine gun emplacements which were key in holding territories. the HQ for one and the units deploy from the place where you expect as opposed to wandering on from any number of positions on the map only delaying deployment further. The structures seemed to look better in the first i.e.

This makes your units more like a series of linked first person shooters stitched together in the map operating independently of each other to create an unplayable Frankenstein monster of a strategy game.

The first game seemed to nail the allowable zoom so that it could be played like a strategy but the second is only focused on zooming in as far as possible so you can relieve yourself to the level of detail the designers went to looking at the sky and trees and the snow falling. The first game seemed After playing the first Company of Heroes and really enjoying it I purchased the second version expecting big things.
