The Western Front Armies is an interesting attempt at reaching out to that larger audience, all while appeasing the fans who are both still interested in the game and those who could easily be tempted back. The series has often tempted those people but going by the sales figures, never quite reached the brass ring. So there’s a good potential market there for Relic and SEGA: the unwashed masses who aren’t generally interested in strategy, but are intrigued by COH2 ’s cinematic presentation of WW2. Yes, that’s not exactly a wide field, but it’s a testament to the success of the franchise that it’s one of the few in the genre that most non-strategy fans have actually heard of. With a healthy amount of post-release developer support, as well as a dedicated fanbase who provide some really good Steam Workshop content, the game is without a doubt one of the best modern RTS games.
