i'm not really a strategy guy, but my buddy told me to play CoH 2. I started the Soviet campaign on easy mode. Why's this shit so fash, and does it get any better?

    I suggest playing them all because the game is really fun, but the other cold war brain scenarios include: Soviets invade Vietnam (for some reason!?) and for dessert fight China, Soviets invade mainland Japan over disputed islands, Chinese invade Hong Kong instead of waiting for the hand off date, and the Soviet coup against Gorbachev is successful and they immediately restart the Korean War. I guess they couldn't reuse the scenario where the Soviets invade across the Fulda Gap because both of the previous games dealt with that one.

    Literally every single one has NATO being on the defensive, top tier brain worms.

      Yeah saw some of those scenarios and they were pretty nuts. But obviously NATO is only a "defensive" organization, so of course they'd never attack anyone they're much too civilized. For real though the Redfor units are just so much more fun. Kind of like Steel Division too. I feel like the USSR has some of the just most fun units. (Nazi's had some wacky stuff but I cannot even entertain the idea of playing them ever).
