Fans of Relic Entertainment's renowned World War II real-time strategy game, Company of Heroes, have reason to celebrate. Originally ported to mobile by Feral Interactive, the game has now introduced the much-anticipated multiplayer feature. This exciting update comes in the form of an iOS beta that includes the highly-requested Skirmish Mode, allowing players to engage in intense battles with others online.
On the iOS page for Company of Heroes, you'll find the news about the debut of Online Skirmish Mode as a beta feature. This mode lets you compete against fellow players, choosing from a variety of factions inspired by real-life World War II militaries. Whether you prefer to command the Americans and Germans or dive into the expanded factions of the UK and Panzer Elite from the included Opposing Fronts expansion, the choice is yours.
Company of Heroes has always been celebrated for its unique blend of realistic warfare and engaging RTS gameplay. It's not just about deploying the most expensive units; strategic missteps can leave your infantry vulnerable to enemy fire or your tanks exposed to devastating hits. This balance makes every decision critical and every victory satisfying.

Personally, I've always found single-player battles against AI to be my preference in RTS games, as some players have an astonishing mastery over build orders and unit micromanagement. For those who've been eagerly awaiting this feature in the polished iOS version of this RTS classic, this update marks a significant milestone.
