Good afternoon everyone,

I'm a longtime RTS gamer (WarCraft: Orcs and Humans, Tiberian Sun, Total Annihilation) who' recently discovered Company of Heroes 2 after becoming disenfranchised with StarCraft 2's twitchy gameplay. I've been looking for something deep and engaging that focuses on unit control more than mineral mining, and I've landed here. So far, despite the learning curve, I couldn't be happier.

I'm in my late 20s, married, and have a young son (with another on the way!) I work as a SharePoint admin for my day job, and am looking for a game to fall into as passionately as I fell into StarCraft. I think and hope that COH2 will fit that bill.

I am pretty bad (many 1v1 and 2v2 games end up with German armor in my base, sadly) but always blame my own lack of skill before laying fault at the feet of game balance. I am enjoying the Soviets in this game (the USSR is one of my main areas of historical interest, in fact) and am interested in becoming a productive member of the community.

So, hi everybody!

Hello and welcome tovarish!
Glad you joined and Im sure you will enjoy CoH2 and playing as Soviet alot! And don't worry the more you play the better you'll be at it

And its great to have yet another player who also likes history!
I think we should team up some day and defend our Rodina from those damn Germans

welcome in coh series i would recommend not specializing in one faction like in other rts titles (like sc2) but instead learning to play both. you can still have your favorite ofc.

Failure is always an option.

It's a happy massacre?! (yes, yes it is!)

That was the first thing I did after joining the site! Really want to stop feeling like I'm losing simply due to lack of understanding of the best way to play. I have the feeling that many of my issues are due to not having a good enough understanding of how to best use my units.

Welcome comrade!
