OVERVIEW

There are several differences between the original Company of Heroes and the Blitzkrieg MOD.

Infantry units are highly vulnerable to heavy fire by machine guns (MG Squads, machine guns on vehicles for e.g.) and need good cover. The first salvo of a machine gun often kills 2 or 3 of a Squad when they have less cover.

Compared to the original COH it's more important for tanks to keep the front towards the enemy and have their sides and back covered up by own units.
