Anybody here play Company of Heroes?

Yep, faster is the key. And that means grabbing territory. To win we should starve the Americans of fuel. And maybe play a VP match, instead of annihilate. Thats is what I am used to from automatch. I will need to practice my annihilate-games.

Anyway, great that we got a group together. I hope we will play some more.

How does Company of Heroes work online? Is it 1vs1 or is it more like World in Conflict with several people but with different roles? (Armor, infantry, support etc.)

Its several things. Up to 4 vs 4 is possible. The standard (automatch) is 1 v 1 or 2 v 2. One can also set up custom games, like 4 vs 4, as mentioned. There is no preset roles, but the team mates should communicate to have the best possible combinations of forces and abilities.

Fuel is the last thing you'll grant your enemy so those should be high priority for you to capture anyway, Fuel = Armor capacity.

I don't play VP a lot due the fact I like to crush the opposition completly

and not by having a system saying I drained his points.

I guess both can be fun, but as said I haven't played MP against other players that much apart from some friend vs friend skirmish.

but yeah, hope to have more matches with you lot soon.

Problem with basic matches is that lot of people "smurf". They play with a low level profile, even if they are rank 12 - 20. In automatch, you get matched with the highest ranking profile always.

But good games are always good games. Looking forward to it!

Sure thing, if we have enough Subsimmers online at the time a private match could be nice
