This means that you can just purchase the expansion and enjoy its content without purchasing the original game or the other expansions. While the engine is the same, only content from Tales of Valor is available, although the game's menu will tease you with content from the original and the first expansion. The content is still a bit sparse, even at $29.99, and it is because of this that I feel the need to offer a split-decision in my review. If you have never picked up Company of Heroes before, this stand-alone expansion may disappoint you. On the other hand, players who just can't get enough of COH and its multiplayer will definitely want to pick up a copy".
