The Lost Brigades expansion for Company of Heroes is set to shake up your battlefield strategies, bringing an extra dose of versatility and power to your favorite factions. The big draw here is the ability to integrate brand new units directly into your core army, without needing specific Commander cards to call them in. This means you can access crucial reinforcements much earlier in the game, opening up a range of tactical possibilities right from the start.

But it doesn't stop there! The expansion also introduces 60 new building board extender tiles, creating a super interesting alternative play mode. With it, you can mix and match units from across your entire Company of Heroes collection, adding them to your faction's building boards. Imagine the freedom to create army combinations that were previously impossible! The Lost Brigades vehicles also arrive with a bang, emphasizing the new Assault rules found in the second edition of the game, which can completely change the dynamic of engagements.

And to further supercharge your vehicles, each one comes with two exclusive Commanders. These allow you to customize and upgrade your tanks and armored vehicles, giving them unique abilities and characteristics. Or, if you prefer, you can field the core Lost Brigades vehicle and choose a different Commander from your collection, ensuring access to an even wider range of units and strategies. It's a true toolbox for anyone who loves optimizing and experimenting with new tactics in Company of Heroes.
