What a pitiful job.

COH2 – The Western Front Armies: Oberkommando West is one of the most distinctive and strategically challenging faction expansions released for Company of Heroes 2, offering a fundamentally different interpretation of World War II real-time tactics. Developed and published by Relic Entertainment, with Feral Interactive handling Mac and Linux versions, it reintroduces the Western Front to the multiplayer ecosystem through a bold, asymmetrical design philosophy. Unlike the Wehrmacht Ostheer, which represents a structured, disciplined military force, the Oberkommando West embodies a fierce but fragmented late-war German army—resource-starved, technologically overburdened, aggressive, and forced into desperate tactical innovation. This thematic foundation becomes the driving force behind the faction’s economy, unit roster, battlefield behavior, and learning curve, making it appealing to players who enjoy improvisation, high-risk decision-making, and mechanically intensive micromanagement. The most defining feature of the Oberkommando West is its unique economy. Rather than benefiting fully from captured territory, the faction receives reduced fuel and munitions income from standard re…

[h1]Company of Heroes 2 - The Western Front Armies: Oberkommando West [/h1] [h3]Fine Army Expansion but very Redundant Faction[/h3] [h3]Worth a try if it's on discount[/h3] The Oberkommando West works as an infantry-focused army, with large squads of foot soldiers that are effective against most enemies in combat. This faction has some regular crew units that can help in stationary engagements although they do not stand out much due to their limitations in rate of fire and damage. On the other hand, their heavy armored vehicles are even better than those of the Wehrmacht, but they are considerably more expensive and become available much later compared to other factions. It is one of the most enjoyable factions to play if your goal is to build a large infantry army supported by only a few armored vehicles. However, playing the Oberkommando can feel somewhat redundant, as it is very similar to the Wehrmacht gameplay. It only has a couple of new mechanics that distinguish it from the previous faction, such as the ability to deploy mobile structures that can be set up outside the starting area. This mechanic allows us to establish forward bases near our army to support them. A sim…

I always compared the OKW to the Brits in COH1 mainly cuz the Brits there had a mobile vehicle as their main base but the Brits in COH2 don't have that. But the OKW in COH2? Mobile bases. Anyways, fun faction. +You remember that one faction in COH1 that was essentially "Germany but with different vehicles! Wow, so cool to use different things and especially the big, heavy boys!! I love late-war Germany!!" its the same. Its Germany but different vehicles and a different progression style. Its what Panzer Elite was in COH1 but its in COH2. Its how Panzer Elite was still very much German but the play style was a lil different, the units were more interesting and sometimes stuff you didn't expect to see. I'm fairly certain Panzer Elite started the match with a Kettenkrad which you could change from the settings for very specifically a Schwimmwagen if I remember right and I think one of the vehicles you could have was a French captured R35 tank with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Nebelwerfer rockets attached to the side. Like thats what the Panzer Elite was. Different but still so German. Like a last ditch "throw everything together, we gotta stop the Allied tide" faction that had both the biggest and me…

This faction is fine, their niche is being the "weird" one where every unit has an odd ability that doesn't exist elsewhere in the game or in a combination otherwise unused. They're much more mobile than the other factions and whilst I struggle to use them I can see their potential. I can't speak for multiplayer. Another Nickle and Dime DLC by Sega, but at least this one wasn't in the first for free. No missions, no campaign, no challenges.
