Where the last add-on was multiplayer-focused, Ardennes Assault is very much a single-player campaign, but one that's learned a lot of lessons from the online world. This is Relic's second expansion pack for Company of Heroes 2, and both of them-Ardennes Assault and The Western Front Armies-are standalone, so you don't need the original, explosive Eastern Front-'em-up to play. Even when you are winning a lot along the way. This is very much built from significant individual battles, and a game where you're in for a long, hard slog. A couple of hours into Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault's campaign it becomes clear Relic hasn't forgotten about it. It's strange that most war games seem to have forgotten that one very famous saying: 'you've won the battle, but you haven't won the war'.
