When I was small, my dad took me with him on a trip across the desert outside of Dubai, where we lived, to scout the route drivers would be taking in an upcoming rally. After a day of bouncing around in a 4x4, I was tired and bruised, but I came away with a newfound appreciation of the golden expanse – for its big, open spaces that really lets vehicles rip; for its hidden dangers that can halt drivers in their tracks; and for the surprising diversity and sudden, dramatic changes in terrain.
These qualities, which gave me such a memorable experience when I was 12, also make the desert a compelling setting for an RTS, which is evident in Company of Heroes 3. The latest in Relic’s World War II series of games, which was revealed last year alongside its dynamic Italian campaign, will also launch with a second campaign in North Africa.
ROLL CALL
A few of the units you’ll be fielding
FAMO RECOVERY HALF-TRACK
All DAK infantry can repair vehicles slowly, but for quick repairs you’ll want a recovery half-track. It can even repair completely wrecked vehicles, regardless of what faction they belong to, making it an immensely powerful unit.
PANZER III
The Panzer III medium tank is a punchy, speedy warmachine, and still big enough to let troops use it as a transport. It's a solid tank, and you can upgrade it with a heavy machine gun to give it anti-air and anti-infantry capabilities.
