I am fairly new to the strategy genre, but I know that Relic is one of the most innovative companies in the field. Company of Heroes brings so much to the table, from it's squad-based tactics, garrison commands, and just general cinematic flair for creating a memorable look at the Normandy front. I am no historian, and I am 100% sure that Medal of Honor and Saving Private Ryan had a huge influence on the tale that was woven between missions, but there are so many moments in this campaign that really stood out to me, and taught me the value of learning from failure. I think this game cemented strategy games as a new genre for me to explore.
