+1 for WhiteFlash
Some good points, some weird/pointless points but nice article overall.
Some things I disagree with though:
I love the coh2 tact map and use it extensively. It provides a wealth of information at a quick glance, not sure what you dislike about it. Maybe just a preference thing.

CoH 1 - Angoville
CoH 2 - Angoville
I prefer CoH 1 tactical map design (like size + ww2 style drawing (we see hedges)) with CoH 2 tactical map UI (like retreat, reverse, attack to move action + idle status, health, cover info).
Don't forget the sound design! CoH had superior, more realistic sound design!!!
Explosions were visually more satisfying to see as well.
Mix between CoH 2 and blitzkrieg sound (MG42 in bk
).
