The battles can play out very differently depending on the forces you bring. The Company of Heroes 3 pre-alpha campaign includes two types of British companies (armored and Indian artillery), as well as two American ones (paratrooper and special forces). Really, there’s a surprising amount of depth and mechanics at work on the strategic map. Company abilities are more variable and powerful, like artillery companies being able to engage enemies at range, or special forces companies disrupting enemy supplies behind the lines. For example, medical detachments can heal other units (and provide ambulance call-ins in RTS), while engineers can remove obstacles (an important task as the pre-alpha campaign demonstrates). However, detachments can fight on the strategic map, user their own abilities, and add a bit of support when they’re in range. The game features the cast hull M4A1 Sherman II tank for the Brits and I’m all for it. They are supported by detachments with no experience levels or unlocks. They are the of the show, accruing experience, unlocking units, having their own special abilities and be able to initiate real-time strategy (RTS) battles. As such, you’ll just be pushing around companies on the command map. While the Battle for Monte Cassino and the attacks on the Winter Line in general involved 240,000 Allied soldiers, this is Company of Heroes 3 and not Division of Heroes.
