company of heroes 2 ardennes walkthrough

Frustrating at is can be at times, Ardennes Assault does a great job of capturing both the scale and the desperation of the Battle of the Bulge-the last ditch German counterattack that nearly broke the Allied advance in 1945. This time around, however, Relic has seen fit to widen the scope of the battle in a way that has rarely been seen in real-time strategy to this point and happily, it works. Such experiences have been Company of Heroes' bread and butter since the series' debut in 2006, and it is reflected well in Ardennes Assault-the latest expansion to grace Company of Heroes 2. I've never experienced combat firsthand, but Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault is what I imagine war must be like: An intense, harrowing slog through broken buildings and shatteringly loud artillery fire with little to no margin for error.
