Company of Heroes (2nd Edition): British Player Set
Hold the line and bring the British Army to your tabletop with the Company of Heroes (2nd Edition): British Player Set. This complete faction expansion provides the miniatures and player components needed to add another commander to your Company of Heroes battles.

The Player Set also includes the additional components needed for another participant, making it the natural way to expand the 2 Player Core Set into larger multiplayer games.

Add Another Player
Faction Player Sets aren't simply collections of additional units.
Each set includes the supporting components required to bring another player into the game.
To expand the Company of Heroes (2nd Edition) 2 Player Core Set, add one Faction Player Set for each additional participant.
Included player components feature items such as:
-
Command Cubes
-
Dice
-
Infantry Trays
-
Faction Components
-
British Forces
This makes the British Player Set useful both for someone choosing Britain as their dedicated army and for gaming groups looking to increase their player count.
Command the British Army
British forces reward commanders who are willing to establish a position and make the enemy come to them.
Rather than attempting to match opponents purely through raw offensive firepower, focus on:
-
Defensive positioning
-
Holding critical territory
-
Building battlefield strength
-
Durable units
-
Objective control
-
Forcing unfavorable enemy attacks
-
Carefully timed counterattacks
-
Heavy armor
A patient British commander can gradually strengthen their position until removing them becomes an increasingly difficult proposition.
Hold Critical Ground
Objectives and important battlefield locations are natural priorities for a British force.
Establish your troops in key positions and make your opponent decide whether attacking your defenses is worth the potential losses.
This approach is particularly effective in scenarios where holding ground matters as much as destroying enemy units.
Choose Your Commander
Commander selection plays an important role in determining how your British force approaches the battle.
Different commanders can support different tactical approaches, allowing you to tailor your army around the situation and your preferred style of play.
Choosing the right commander can help determine whether your force focuses more heavily on defense, support, armor, or another battlefield specialty.
Bring in the Heavy Tanks
When lighter firepower isn't enough, British commanders can turn to their heavy tanks.
Selecting the right armored support gives your force the tools needed to confront the toughest units your opponent can deploy.
Combining durable defensive positions with powerful late-game armor can force opponents into difficult choices: attack before the British force reaches full strength or risk facing an increasingly formidable position.
Expand Your Multiplayer Battles
Faction Player Sets allow Company of Heroes groups to grow beyond the two-player Core Set.
For example:
2 Players
3 Players
4 Players
Add further faction sets according to the supported player count and scenario requirements.
This also allows each member of a gaming group to develop and customize their own dedicated army.
