In Company of Heroes 3, you lead the campaign at a scale never before experienced in the franchise. By your arsenal of coastal raids, airborne landings, naval destroyer gunfire, strategic bombing, or civilian resistance the Winter line must be broken! It's Rome or bust.

For the soldier, sailor or airman, the Mediterranean was the beginning of a long journey home. That journey will be directed by the course of actions you take, your strategy is their story.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

You’ll begin play by selecting a Battle Plan, outlining your intent to drive on Rome with American or British Companies spearheading the assault. Campaign companies such as the First Special Service Force or British Indian Artillery will present you with unique troops to smash the Axis positions on the dynamic campaign map.

These companies represent your military formations at the strategic level, comprised of combat units, officers, and support abilities.

To knock the Axis out of Italy and ultimately break the Winter line, you’ll have to capture and consolidate key strategic locations, such as seaports, airfields, and railheads. By securing these locations, you’ll establish shipping lanes from across the Atlantic, build air supremacy and lay the framework for a rapid advance on Axis positions.

INFLUENCING COMMAND 

As Theatre Commander you direct the strategic movement of your air, navy and ground forces, but that isn’t everything that will demand your attention. Your subordinate Commanders, the upright British General Norton, the no-nonsense American General Buckram and the cunning American-Italian Captain Valenti of the O.S.S. each have an agenda, and will challenge your strategic aims, your forces, your resources and your resolve.

Priority tasking of your combined arms to support their needs will build Influence with each subordinate Commander. Continue to support them and unlock global upgrades to rapidly establish airfields after consolidating or improve the sabotage effects of Partisan groups on enemy supply lines.

Build solidarity between the commanders to execute your strategy, strengthen the Allied coalition in Italy and get your troops the tools they need. 

STRATEGIC RESOURCES, TACTICAL ADVANTAGE

Your actions on the dynamic campaign map improve the tactical advantage your troops have when launching story missions at historic flashpoints of Ortona, Salerno and Monte Cassino. Skirmish missions are triggered when companies collide on the battlefield, these encounters will benefit in the same way. So, keep your Campaign companies well supported, and victory will be yours!

Strategic support can come from Partisan strongholds, airfields brimming with fighter-bombers, offshore naval destroyers, or additional companies in close support of the lead element.

Once in place, before the mission or skirmish begins, you’ll be able to select which of these strategic advantages to prioritize as support options for your gameplay through the RTS action of Company of Heroes 3. Expect options for aerial reconnaissance, naval gunfire support, Partisan saboteurs, and additional units to call-in where reinforcements are needed most. Companies supported by strategic resources under your control will expand the arsenal and ensure more of your men complete their journey and make it home.

In the coming weeks we’ll dive deeper into various areas of the game, a focus on features, units and what you can expect from the Axis in Italy. Here at Relic, we couldn’t be more excited to have you be part of our CoH-development initiative and to be first to play Company of Heroes 3. Welcome to the Mediterranean!
