Continuing the story in World War II, this exciting campaign places you in the heart of the battle, once described by Churchill as “...undoubtedly the greatest American battle of the War”. This pivotal conflict is known to many as ‘The Battle of the Bulge.’ Take charge of US Allied forces as they face tactical challenges and punishing terrain during a surprise offensive manoeuvre led by the relentless resurgent Oberkommando West. Watch the dramatic Battle of the Bulge unfold through the eyes of three different Officers; experience first-hand the unique struggles they encounter during the war, and how the weight of your actions will shape their future. The harsh reality of war is that no one is truly safe, and your Companies are not excluded from this ultimate truth. Bear witness to their heroism in the face of extreme odds, and fight to win control of the strategically critical Ardennes region.

The devs were dumb enough to have the single player campaign here share unit balance with multiplayer, which means that all the years of balance patches they made for multiplayer completely broke the campaign balance, to the point that its an absolute slog and not fun in any way. Don't buy, just get the USF multiplayer army instead
it was good on launch but now its just an unenjoyable bug fest because of all the patches that came later. example of a bug is the invincible enemy tanks which are near game breaking. only did this campaign again to unlock stuff for multiplayer. 0/10
I came to have an engaging single-player campaign, not to have my balls put in a vice
if i wanted permadeath mode, i would have asked for it
get bent>:(
The mechanics of this add-on are terrible. While the concept is promising, a game should remain balanced. You can spend tens or even hundreds of hours on this campaign, only to lose everything because of a single misstep. Most games address this by allowing multiple saves so you can recover from mistakes. But no—SEGA decided to take us back to the days when losing meant starting from scratch. That might have worked in the '80s, when games took just a few hours to complete, but it's definitely not okay when hundreds of hours are at stake.
It feels like the whole purpose behind this was to get players hooked, only to monetize later with microtransactions. Ironically, they didn’t even implement that.
Sure, it was only $5, but this is the first time in my life I feel inclined to ask for a refund due to such poor design.
It’s a shame, because honestly, the idea had so much potential, and *Company of Heroes* is a fantastic game overall.
This is probably one of the best DLCs ever made for Company Of Heroes 2. It adds an additional single-player campaign which is focused on western front. But instead of copying original Company of Heroes it delivers us a new experience which is the Ardennes Battle or the Battle of the Bulge of whatever you want to call it. Historically it was a German offensive but Germans failed in it and it resulted in Allied forces getting to Germany itself. And so, in this DLC you play as Americans and your goal it to crush German forces in Ardennes and reach German border basically launching invasion of German mainland. The DLC offers a gameplay in real-time battles and also some strategic mode where you move your forces on a map. Strategic part is too basic but it's still a nice addition anyway. So, overall this is a very solid DLC and you are planning to play single-player content of Company of Heroes 2, this DLC is absolutely a must.
Most social gamers prefer a simpler games.
The Ardennes assault is good but with no saving option is problematic.
You have to restart everything again if you failed in one of the mission.
I been trying over and over. No point. Waste of time.
OK, I bought this a while back but I'm getting back into the game now so I'm going to lay this out for you. This is major bullshit - honestly, this is the kind of shit that should have laws against it.
PART 1: The Campaign
This DLC features a campaign where you manage the U.S. Forces in Belgium. It grants access to the Ardennes Assault singleplayer campaign, and use of the U.S. units within. However, upon starting the campaign, it immediately gives you the illusion of choosing 3 out of four differing companies. The 4th one leads you to a store page where you need to buy a seperate DLC just to have access to these unique units.
Once in the campaign, it's a strange dumbed-down Civ-like strategy interface that actually is just a moderately linear metagame that manages your 3 companies. While the gameplay within is quite good, but repetitive (Chasing crippled tanks and supplies) each match relies on the metagame to track your companies strength and morale. They use these resources to power your units. The game is actually pretty difficult for someone who has no knowledge of the American units (since you just started, and no, it's not really that much like COH1.) and very unforgiving. So pretty much every run ends up softlocking you out of continuing as your company runs low on strength and can't do anything.
PART 2: The U.S Forces in multiplayer
Of course, since you bought the U.S. FORCES campaign for Company of Heroes 2, it grants you access to the armies in multiplayer or even singleplayer matches against A.I, right? You use the units in the campaign, so it's a given, right? WRONG. You have to buy all that shit SEPARATELY because FUCK YOU. So, here I am, stuck with a SHITTY campaign, and nothing to show for it. How about that? Honestly, I don't know if you can refund DLCs, but at this point I'd pay them again to get this bullshit out of my face.
At least the Russians are fun to play...
