This is worth playing, not just for fans of the franchise, but also for any strategy game lovers and WWII buffs. New customization options allow you to summon help from a varied cast of specialist units and elite squads.

Command ground, air and naval forces and build supply lines to crush enemy advances, with destructible environments, and with new flanking moves and infantry breaching mechanics (to flush enemy units from their hiding spots). Serving as the biggest game in the series' history, Company of Heroes 3 includes two large campaigns (especially the Italian one) and four unique multiplayer and cooperative ("co-op") factions, including large skirmish battles. While a RTS (real-time strategy) like its predecessors, newly introduced features include "Full Tactical Pause," which lets you stop the action and give commands without the pressure of time, and a turn-based dynamic campaign map, both of which are designed to give more control over the battlefield, and make the game more accessible to newcomers to the genre. In COMPANY OF HEROES 3, players return as the Allied Forces, but this time the game focuses on the Mediterranean theatre of war (through the rolling hills of Italy and deserts of North Africa), folding in deeper strategic choices to the mix of action and tactics.
