According to the Steam CoH2 page, commanders will be $2.99 and skins $1.99.

Thoughts? I think they're both a dollar too expensive, but I probably won't buy anything anyways so I don't really care.

Commanders are much much more interesting to me than skins are. I'll probably be suckered into buying everything there is though ;)

Are DLC commanders going to be a different mix of the abilities from the existing commanders? Or will their be entirely new abilities too?

Either way, I see this being a balancing nightmare for Relic.

Here in Europe, I imagine that will be the same price but with a € instead of a $ (even though I live in Denmark where we don't even use euros. Grrr!). Because that's just how Steam rolls, yo.

EDIT: I'm wrong! They're only €2.49 for commanders. Yay for being wrong!

Conscript Support Tactics looks crazy broken lol:

INCENDIARY ARTILLERY BARRAGE
Areas of the map can be bombarded with incendiary rounds to burn infantry and deny access.
RAPID CONSCRIPTION
Any soldiers lost while Rapid Conscription is active are replaced by Conscript Infantry.
CONSCRIPT ASSAULT PACKAGE UPGRADE
Conscripts replace two of their rifles with PPSh-41 Submachine Guns for better short-range firepower.
CONSCRIPT REPAIR KIT
Demonstrating pure ingenuity, Conscripts can repair any damaged structure, vehicle, or bridge.
HIT THE DIRT!
Conscripts gain the "Hit the Dirt!" ability; when it is active, they seek ground for protection but will not move.

Also, you can buy almost all of the commanders in the CE in a bundle for $8.99.

$2.99 to win a tournament doesn't seem so bad. I mean the upcoming TFN tourney has a huge prize pool! So buying an overpowered commander to win that seems like a great deal.

This kind of answers my question. They all look like existing abilities. And I think it also confirms my fear that..yeah, this is going to be a balancing nightmare.

Recon + Two artillery options look for German Joint Operations Doctrine looks like fun.

Just an FYI for anyone still on the fence about the Collector's Edition, right now the only commander you can't buy on your own is the Soviet Terror Tactics commander.

Paying to get an advantage... sigh...

Is there a page where I can see all the commander sets?

It's not really paying for an advantage TBH since so far the new commanders have just been abilities from included commanders just re-arranged some. Of course, it's impossible to say yet if any of these new combinations are too powerful, but at least you aren't getting anything that a normal player couldn't get.

And go to the Steam CoH2 page to see all the DLC options. There will be commander breakdowns on CoH2.org soon as well.
