CoH is the main game I am playing these days, and I never get tired of it. With 4v4 multiplayer games it is very much like the original Ground Control. Team members back each other up and take advantage when they win a skirmish, moving forward and fortifying captured ground. You start with infantry units and decide which heavy units to work toward, artillery, tanks, air support. Each game is different, and the tactics people use evolve, because there is no best way to win. It's like chess with heavy weapons. The only thing I miss is playing with friends.

If other RI are playing CoH, let's get together. If some RI would like to get back in the game, or buy the game, I'd be happy to meet with you and skirmish against AI until you feel comfortable enough to join a multiplayer game. I see other clans playing together and remember the days of GC when an entire team was RI. This is a great game, no elves, magic spells, or intergalactic trading. Just heavy caliber weapons, clanking treads and high explosives. What fun!! Here's a screenie from a recent game. My two Sherman Calliopes and a team mate's Priest artillery bombard an enemy advance.

COH is a great game but to time consuming for me, one map can take hours...
I don't have that much spare time anymore. :(

But now when we are talking ww2 rts mite I mention an upcoming title, that in my mind looks promising.
Men of war, check it out.

Barsy, it's true that a 4v4 map can take over an hour, but most games are under an hour, and 2v2 and 3v3 are shorter. I've tried several other similar games, but none has the depth of play that CoH has. That's what attracted me to GC in the first place, the fact that every game is different.
Here's another screenie, the guys in the foreground are Germans, pinned down by my armored car, and about to become roadkill.

I'm going to post a little primer on CoH gameplay on our CoH thread in the Games forum. Why? Because I want to play with friends, and am making an effort to entice you all to play Company of Heroes. Here is the link to the first one. If there is any interest, I will make more.

Hia all!

I play 2 games nowadays: BF2, that I think is just great, and COH, that I think is great but I need to rehearse a bit.

So I'll be trying to join U guys very soon and I do hope to see you.

Ok, COH seems to be the game with the best chance to find Regnum's in, I'll give it a try again.

@Diffy. That sounds like a firewall setting, have you changed anything since last time with COH?

BTW, I saw that the expansion "opposing fronts now can be bought for less then 6€ in Sweden.

A game day is propably to way to go, but 19:00 swe time are about 01:00 PM for Will.
Maybe not the best time for him, or what do you think Will?

I'll downloaded a couple of replays... man this game has changed since before OF.
I'm going to try to go online some evning during the week, maybe we meet there then.

1pm EST is not a bad time for me right now, as I am not working regular hours anyway. 5PM is also a good time, that's when we used to play GC, late at night for you guys.
The add-on game is great because you get two completely different armies to choose from. The Brits have a very strong package, they build useful things like AT emplacements, mortar pits, artillery bunkers, and they have cool new armor like the Firefly and Churchill tanks. Here's a picture of the basic Brit starter unit including mobile base, infantry sqad and Bren gun carrier.
