GAME SUMMARY

Theatre of War 2: Battle for Caen

Rating: 3.9 (216 votes cast)

Theatre of War 2: Battle for Caen is an expansion pack for the critically acclaimed Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943, an historical real-time tactical wargame. In Battle for Caen, players will control units of the British 11th Armored Division during Operation Epsom and Goodwood which took place from June 26 to July 19, 1944. Get ready for strong opposition though from the forces of the 2nd, 21st and 1st SS and 12th SS Panzer Divisions and witness even more spectacular battles involving dozens of impeccably modeled AFVs and hundreds of soldiers.

  • Brings totally new Theatre of War on the Western Front to owners of ToW2: Kursk 1943.
  • New historical British campaign “Battle for Caen”.
  • Over 40 new UK, Wehrmacht and SS units and infantry squads were added to the already expansive unit list of the original Kursk 1943 game. Including: Daimler Littlejohn, Gepard, Crusader III AA, 3 inch mortar, Achilles, Challenger, Cromwell, Churchill, Sherman Firefly, PaK 43, Tiger B with Porsche turret, Pz. III M, Pz. IV H and “A” and “G” Panthers.
  • Eight new Normandy maps are also playable in multiplayer and with the scenario generator.
  • Authentic markings on all vehicles.
  • Numerous additions of UK and German infantry weapons and ammunition, including PIAT, StG 44, Panzerschrek and Panzerfaust 30.

Theatre of War 2: Battle for Caen review

This is a great expansion pack, cheap and full of content.

Personally I enjoyed Africa more than Kursk, but this expansion has put the titles on equal ground. The addition of SS units was a surprise too considering how often developers have to steer away from using such controversial units.

Theatre of War 2: Battle for Caen is unforgiving RTTS - real time tactical simulator. Here you need to be concerned by caliber of your AT artillery, AP vs HE rounds, angle of attack, slope of the armor. Yes, you will curse this game in frustration. You find your forces severely outnumbered and outclassed by well oiled Wehrmacht war machine. You will start smoking and biting your nails. You will be reloading your game very frequently... And yet somehow I've enjoyed the challenge. If you are seasoned strategy/tactics veteran you will want to give it a shot. Be forewarned, this is not World in Conflict where you're led by hand and asked "place your tanks here", "defend this spot here".

Many people are unaware of these operations - Mostly due to the hype and sensation surrounding the USA and the beach landings of Normandy, but the battles seen here are just as significant and truly a joy to play through.

The new units are great, Challengers, Panthers and even a new Tiger variation - The authentic markings are a nice touch too. I even had fun watching the new firearms (and anti-tank weapons) being used by the individual soldiers. Great attention to detail.

While it doesn't focus much on improving the engine (unit pathfinding for example) it is still stable, and for anyone who is a fan of the series it's well worth the asking price.
