In teams, or as individuals, players will maneuver units and battle for control points to collect manpower, munitions and fuel.

The second edition of the Company of Heroes introduces extensive improvements to gameplay, tactical choices, unit balance, faction differentiation, mission parameters and more. It adjusts unit and building costs, resource generation and other mechanics to allow for more units to be purchased, fielded and used over the course of the battle. It so further tweaked and balanced units, factions and commanders to a high polish. These changes were incorporated with an eye towards emphasizing faction identity and distinction.
