![]() ![]() Manpower is the most important as it's used in every unit created. Unlike Dawn of War which has two basic resources (one of which is generated by buildings) there are three resources in Company of Heroes (manpower, munitions, and fuel) which have their own capture points. Radar posts can be built on top of these capture points for an increased boost in resources as well. Players have to capture points set up around the map which then automatically add resources over time. The basics of resource gathering are actually very similar to Relic's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War RTS released a couple of years ago. ![]() How the resources are gathered is where the game differs a bit. Company of Heroes is a traditional RTS in that commanders will be responsible for the construction of bases and management of resources. ![]() While some of the missions are more traditional "Build a base and go out and kick some ass" types of scenarios, others will stick players immediately in ambushes, throw timed objectives in to push the pace, or even defend against massive German counterattacks. Missions are fairly varied in mission types and are full of action from the first second on. Cutscene briefings are presented well and bring an air of authenticity while in-game cutscenes provide a bit of a dramatic cinematic feel to build tension and present gameplay. The 15 missions come complete with some of the animatic cutscenes that will be very familiar to fans of Homeworld along with in-game cutscenes and mission briefings using the in-game map to show off where points of contention will be and give brief hints on possible strategies (that may become moot when German reinforcements roll in). This includes everything from Able Company's attack on the beaches, Fox Company's drop behind enemy lines to destroy AA guns and capture Carenten, the recapture of Cherbourg, and the cornering of Germany's 7th Division at Chambois by the US, Polish and Canadian forces. The single player campaign is set during the initial invasion of Normandy (from the US perspective) and the recapture of many of the important French cities. ![]()
