  Company of Heroes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Company of Heroes is set during World War II where the player follows a fictional military unit, known as Able Company, as they fight their way through some of the greatest and bloodiest battles of World War II in the European theatre, including the D-Day landings at Normandy.
For example, Able Company landed at Omaha with the 29th Infantry Division, yet was inexplicably transferred to the Advance from Utah Beach, with the 90th Infantry Division.
This separates Company of Heroes from other games in the RTS genre, where large amounts of massed units are a common sight.

Company of Heroes is a visually stunning real-time strategy game that depicts all the violent chaos of World War II with uncommon intensity.
Company of Heroes trades a wide breadth of content for an extremely detailed look at WWII-era ground combat, and its action is so fast paced that it's best suited for the reflexes of an experienced RTS player.
Company of Heroes presents a number of novel twists to real-time strategy conventions, but at heart this game works like other RTS games do, by putting you in charge of base construction, resource gathering, and tactical command of various military forces in an effort to defeat the opposition.

I find armor company much more valuable in a 2v2 or bigger, where there is more fuel available, and it is harder to assault over long range with infantry.
Armor company allows allies to attack quickly over long range, and cap territory while doing it...in a longer game on a medium or large map...it really shows its true merit.
the real beauty of armor company is when you have the supply....you can arty your enemy, then attack, raid, repair, and replenish your lost tanks for only a munitions cost....its a real 1, 2 punch but doesnt provide the dividends IMO it is capable of on a 1v1 VP game.
