    Great addition and change of pace compared to the other factions. Very micro-intensive but totally worth it. As of right now, it can't go head-to-head against OKW; British are actually UP as you will see when you play them. The emplacements are the key to this faction (in my opinion). Any other tactic I tried using ended in a complete loss but just seeing that bofurs chew up infantry wasGreat addition and change of pace compared to the other factions.

The anti-tank emplacement can take out many light vehicles w/ one shot! Would have loved to have seen more content given to current races along with this nickel+dime piece but not everyone can be like cdproject red! Hopefully, with mods, it balances out with current roster. I don't know if it's just me but the A.I for Brits is actually extremely good and setup emplacements strategically.
    Would not pay more than $10 for this one race. Wait for steam sale unless relic adds more content to all existing forces.    … Expand

    Awsome add on, a bit expensive, to much marketing, to little content. However, with the graphics boost and new possible strategies due to balancing and of course the new faction, it is very nice.

    Churchill tank has sten guns firing from the sides. 10/10

    All joking aside, I like this new faction. It takes a bit to set up, but late game, the British forces just roll in with churchills supported by fireflies and a couple engineers and you just steamroll everything. The only reason it's not perfect for me, is that I can definitely see this as being OP and will expect nerfs to    Churchill tank has sten guns firing from the sides. 10/10

The only reason it's not perfect for me, is that I can definitely see this as being OP and will expect nerfs to happen. Especially to the Heavy engineers with the x2 repair time, and the Churchill tank in general. Firefly is pretty balanced though.

    This is a defensive faction. Be conservative setting up, guard choke points with anti tank emplacements, and machine guns and when you have the resources, unleash the mighty Churchill tanks (Those things are definitely gonna see a nerf.) and roll right over the enemy.    … Expand

    The British Forces is a great addon for an already great game. While the balance at the release could have been better, the british forces provide a very interesting new approach to gameplay.

    If you enjoy tense multiplayer matches in competetive match ups with a lot of innovative and realistic game mechanics such as suppression and cover systems, you are gonna love this game.

    At the end of the day there is no comparable RTS on the market right now.
    If you want to give it a try without any risk go to coh2.org and start watching some streams!

    Go and enjoy!    … Expand

    if you read a history a little more . you will see that the British Army couldn't defeat them without any help of USA & USSR .Then we shouldn't see this fact of history as a week of this game. you have to look at game-play,visions , story tell,camp mods,buildings,unit.facility controls , and many options do we have in this game . i always fun with this series .

    A good standalone expansion with one new faction and 8 new maps. [11/2015, p.52]

    A DLC that doesn't stray from the path if compared to the other ones for the game, even if the lack of a dedicated campaign will stop many fans. It's still a pretty neat add-on, with some great new units.

    While this expansion pack is for multiplayer use only and could have benefited from some more content, the new maps and units are great and continue the legacy of Company of Heroes 2.
