Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts again.

When I play this game I can't believe that I have still not bought or played CoH Tales of Valour.

This is a link to a previous entry I made about this game:

Since I bought the new PC, even though I have signed back in to the same Relic account, I cannot continue the campaign from where I left off, which was near the end, and I have to start from the beginning.  It doesn't seem too much like a chore as I can only remember it vaguely, though there are one or two battles which I remember as being a real pain.  I am definitely playing better than I did first time round.

The game is beautifully made with a lot of thought put into it.  The fact that even when I get hammered I don't feel hard done by makes me think that things are always working how they should and I am being given every chance to win, if only I wasn't such an idiot.

It would make the game more interesting if I did not play so slowly.  Some of the initial battles are almost unloseable, but it might still take me an hour to get around to making a serious assault on an enemy base, only to discover that it is actually quite vulnerable, and the enemy only seemed strong because the AI had taken a lot of territory and attacked my base boldly with almost everything it had.

There will be more of this played in the near future and I will be looking out for Tales of Valour in forthcoming Steam sales.
