Relic talks tactical doctrines in Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces dev diary
Relic's released another developer diary video for Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces, this time explaining the rationale behind the way the Tommies play. “We looked at the context of British history in World War 2,” says lead game designer Quinn Duffy, “we looked at their tactical doctrines, and the things they were very, very good at as an army. We looked at historical accounts of them being very effective on the defence. Once they grabbed a piece of ground, it was very rare for them to be pushed off of it.”
Relic introduces new Centaur tank unit in Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces teaser

Which, handily, has just been profiled in a spotlight video from Relic. Packing twin 20mm autocannons housed on a Cromwell chassis, the Centaur can tear through both infantry and aircraft with ease.
Relic introduces the Churchill tank in Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces teaser
I love the Churchill tank. There's something so... functional about it. No threatening profile, no fancy tricks, just a big old caterpillar track with a metal box plonked on top. Simple and classic. Or at least I thought that was the case. It turns out that the Churchill that will appear in Company of Heroes 2's upcoming British Forces expansion will come in a number of flavours, all of which are demonstrated in a new video from relic.
