While the inclusion of paratroopers and para-dropped items—that can be deployed anywhere on the map—are the most obvious new feature via specific US Commanders, there’s also a balanced emphasis on regular infantry and armour, too.
Great entry point to a rich RTS...if you can master it.

Even more units? Yes , more maps? Yes , more fun? hell yes! This dlc is just a steal compared with the coh2 alone game price. The multiplayer is just awesome. 10/10!

Based on solid Company of Heroes 2 they created a purely multiplayer expansion pack that perfectly completes the original game bringing two new ways to play it right away, and it will not even cost you.
If you’ve been looking to get in on Company of Heroes, then this is the place to do it.
Insufficient expansion for the regulars of the title, but an excellent choice for those who want to initiate in it. We were looking forward to much more.
The Western Front Armies is a solid expansion dedicated to the fans of the multiplayer mode from Company of Heroes 2.
Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies is a great deal for newcomers, who can buy, for 20 euros, a deep RTS online. Existing players will have a solid DLC, but a worse deal.
>GOOD<
Good thing it add two new armies and a few maps as well as a way to get premium items you previously had to pay for.
Bad things well, It suffers from some balance issues, and the design of USF is absolutely terrible. The new German army is much better though. Despite game having awesome map editor the devs only added a handful of new maps to ranked battes. Some more bugs after the expansion.
I would score it higher but it shares the issues of the base games such as selling units/abilities as DLCs, having too few maps in ranked automatch and lack of balance.
7/10

Sadly to say this game has some major flaws whilst being a DLC it rewrites previous accomplishments thus removing precious content like skins, commanders, ect... Save files become corrupt ect as well, which is very unacceptable in this day and age....
I would have liked to rate it higher, but this is as generous as i can possibly make it!
I really hope the devs are willing to fix this mess really quickly......
*This is ultimately the last time i've put my money into one of their products*

This is truly the death **** multiplayer franchise. If you're into competitive play turn around and run, for this expansion is truly terrible. The gameplay is clunky, slow and buggy. The tech tree does not much leave much in terms of strategy variation, and the balance is way off. Most games feel boring and repetitive.
From a guy that has faithfully bought and played every CoH expansion since 2006, take it from me: Your money is better spent elsewhere.

Do not buy this game if you care about multiplayer. 2 years in and Relic cannot get a playable game made. Incredibly frustrating seeing so much cheese and imbalance after being so long out. The game runs like a pig as well. The ratio of people q'ing for the game is 90% vs 10% due to severe imbalance. Plus you have to Pay to win to get the commanders needed to beat the cheese call in units.

Summary The Western Front Armies is available as a stand-alone package that represents an entry point into the franchise and access to the vibrant Company of Heroes 2 community. New players can also access 23 existing Company of Heroes 2 maps in auto-match, and play against all other existing factions.
