About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, Company of Heroes fans! Get ready for a strategic shift with the 'Captured Panthers' expansion. You know that feeling of wanting a tank that can take a beating and still be a threat on the field? That's exactly what this expansion brings to each faction, giving them the chance to command vehicles that are true mobile fortresses. With a new commander at the helm, your armored units become more resilient, making them much tougher targets to take down. But the the real gem are the Panthers. Oh, the Panthers! These vehicles aren't just heavily armored; they have the ability to spot camouflage, which is a huge advantage in any confrontation. Just imagine: a tank that not only withstands heavy fire but can also unmask the opponent's ambush tactics. Furthermore, they are super effective against both enemy infantry and other vehicles, making them a key piece to dominate the battlefield. And to top it off, the commander allows you to spawn a couple of vehicles for free and also gives a speed bonus to the Panther and adjacent units. In other words, mobility and firepower in one package. If you enjoy heavy strategy and want to see your tanks make a real difference, 'Captured Panthers' is right up your alley!
