This is the type of thing that defines Relic’s sequel.

Only in Company of Heroes can such a situation, and resulting feeling of utter triumph, occur. As the “mission complete” words flashed across my screen, I rolled back in my chair and took a deep breath. My men may have been broken and exasperated, but they were also victors.

Needless to say, we had overcome the seemingly insurmountable odds. Only traitors run from battle, that’s what we had been told prior to the mission. The ones on the right tried to do the same, but we shot them as they ran. As panic set in, we took further advantage of the situation, lobbing grenades and setting fire to buildings where Wermacht snipers perched. One tank, two tanks – immobilized and now useless to the enemy. And that’s what we did: we held those Germans off took down squad after squad as they scrambled to fight the bitter winds, cold and the bullets from the hot barrels of our rifles. Carpe diem it was time to seize the moment and use this debilitating blizzard to our advantage. The Germans didn’t know how to handle the cold… But my men did. Yes, this indeed was it for my ragtag group of valiant comrades.īut then the snows came, and they came with an unforgiving kind of force. As scores of soldiers began approaching on our flanks, panzers rolled down the town’s main street. But, my men hailed from the Motherland so they, and I, knew that retreat wasn’t an option. Things were bleak to the point that death seemed all but certain for my small, battered group of Russian soldiers.

Unfortunately, I had already taken a beating earlier in the mission and my squads weren’t operating at max capacity. From the intel reports, I fully understood I was outnumbered at least three-to-one.

Hotkeys were pressed almost instinctively, and my mouse clicked more times than I even knew was possible. With dozens of enemy squads fast approaching, my men dug in and prepared themselves for what I knew would be a massive counter-attack by German forces.
