Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is a standalone expansion to Relic's World War II strategy game. It adds two new armies, the British 2nd Army and the German Panzer Elite, each with its own units and style of play. One campaign covers the British push to liberate the French city of Caen, while the other places you on the German side during the fighting in the Netherlands.
It keeps the squad-based tactics, cover and territory control of the original Company of Heroes, with a single-player campaign and online multiplayer. Since it does not require the first game, it is an easy way in for real-time strategy fans who want more varied factions.
