Company of Heroes 2 is a World War II real-time strategy game focused on the Soviet Red Army's Eastern Front campaign from 1941 onward. You command infantry squads, armor, and support units across snow-covered battlefields where weather and terrain directly affect combat. Blizzards slow movement and force you to find shelter or risk losing troops to exposure. Ice-covered rivers can support light vehicles but crack under heavy tanks. The base game covers the Soviet perspective, with optional standalone expansions adding Western Allied factions and campaigns. Tactical cover, line of sight, and unit positioning determine survival more than raw numbers. It's built for players who want environmental hazards layered onto their squad-level tactics.
