The Italian campaign in Company of Heroes 3 is significantly larger, giving you relatively free rein to choose how to carve your path through the country.

If you’re aiming for a second playthrough or want to switch difficulty midway, you’re forced to play the entire thing in sequence, which is one of several UI issues plaguing the third entry in the series. The inability to select levels individually is, however, disappointing.

The nature of the war is different here, but even the first battle of El Alamein feels like smaller scenarios stapled together, in which you assault the British position from different directions before beating them back in a fairly intense last stand. They’re varied and engaging yet familiar but, as powerful a force as the DAK is, the North African Operation lacks truly memorable missions like the final defense at Caen in Opposing Fronts. In terms of objectives, you can expect daring assaults behind enemy lines, tank engagements in the open desert, convoy ambushes, and full-fledged battles focused on breaking through fortified positions.
