Having spent a lot of time with this new army, I've learned to play a few different versions of them, but I get the sense that their flexibility and depth means there are still a lot of approaches I have yet to master - or even discover. It's an amazing late-game turnaround option, and I had an amazing comeback win where my forces mounted a desperate counterattack behind the waves of bombers, following as closely behind the explosions as I dared in order to slaughter the enemy forces while they were still stunned from the raid. In the late game, however, the Commando can also call in the most brute-force ability in the British arsenal: heavy bombers that will carpet-bomb a huge section of the map. The Commando leader is about making the most of these brief windows of opportunity to throw the enemy into chaos. Click the "assault" ability and all your infantry get a brief bonus to attacks and speed, while a flight of recon aircraft buzz overhead and give you a brief, tantalizing glimpse of where your enemies are and what they're up to. The Commando doesn't offer much in the way of immediate heavy firepower and assistance, but instead enables speed and scouting. My favorite company commander, even though it's the one I struggle the most with, is the Commando. They can rout a lot of the early game opposition from the other armies if they play their cards right, and gain a decisive advantage in map control and position. So the start of a match as the British general unfolds as a hell-for-leather land-grab where you have use those lethal Tommies to their best effect with a mix of micro-maneuvering and opportunistic entrenchment. While other countries are sending out engineers and green riflemen, the British have coolly professional killers who seem almost invincible if they get to cover.
Despite being a more defensively oriented faction overall, the British Forces can profit handsomely with early game aggression thanks to some of the strongest infantry available.
As opposed to the British Army in the original Company of Heroes, which lives and dies by its defensive structures and positioning, this new take on the army is exciting and dynamic at every point in a Company of Heroes 2 match.
The really interesting thing about the British Forces is that, even more than the other armies in Company of Heroes 2's military menagerie, they demand different approaches and tactics at different points in the battle.
