hi, i have just recently purchased coh2 the western front armies and coh2 ardenne assault.
when i installed them i cannot find any more maps or armies to use than in the original coh2. also it never asked me for either activation code but they both seemed to go in smoothly and then updated themselves through steam. does anyone know what i've done wrong?

thanks

You might have to activate the cd key in steam?

Go to Games -> Activate a product on Steam and insert the cd key there I think Steam doesn't ask the key, you have to do it manually. That's how I installed the original Company of Heroes that I have on cd and it worke just fine.

no "activate a product" option anywhere in games as far as i can see. all steam sees is the original coh2 game and nothing else

There is the option to activate a product. Two ways: 1) In the Steam interface's top side you've got several menus: STEAM/VIEW/FRIENDS/GAMES/HELP. Go to GAMES. Some options will appear, the second of which is ACTIVATE A PRODUCT ON STEAM. Click that and follow the instructions. In a certain moment, Steam will ask you to introduce the key which i guess you can find on your game box. 2) In the lower left corner you can read ADD A GAME... If you click that three options appear. The second one, ones again, says ACTIVATE A PRODUCT ON STEAM. Click and follow instructions as said above.

Hope it helps and you finally manage to enjoy your purchase.

Ardennes Assault is single-player campaign content only.

The Western Front Armies (U.S. Forces and/or Oberkommando West) is multiplayer content only. That means if you are able to play OKW or U.S. in a Comp Stomp or vs Human in a ranked or customized battle everything works fine and as intended.

If you are not able to play these two factions you might getting sure that you activated this/these product(s) the same way you activated Ardennes Assault via your SteamClient.

Are there any map packs available to download for free on the net as all steam seems to want is my credit card numbers?
