Based from the previews written by Gamespot and IGN, here are some details about the Company of Heroes expansion. There are two factions in the game, namely the British 2nd Army and the German Panzer Elite.
British 2nd Army:
The Brits, scottish music aside, are the happiest faction ever. They're built for both defensive players (aka Turtles) and those that love to employ infantry in battle (aka me). They'll deploy defenses such as trenches, mortar-bunks, and even a rapid-fire Flak-like cannon. In additon, the Brits will have the most versatile infantry squads (hey, they can carry grenade launchers!) Moreover, they'll be able to deploy and re-deploy their HQ (basically like the CnC 3 MCVs), and gain resources bonuses wherever the HQ is deployed. Aside from that, the Brits will also not need to be as aggressive in taking capture points as other factions because of their resource bonuses.
Units:
1. M7 Priest- An artillery tank.
2. Churchill MkIV- Tank
German Panzer Elite:
The German Panzer Elite are made for those that like to crush their enemies beneath their iron tracks. They're the most mobile and aggressive among the factions, and, since they're called "The Elite," will be able to deploy the most veteran units of the Nazi War machine, but in very few numbers. They'll also have the best vehicles and tanks in the game, among them the King Tiger and Jagdpanther. Moreover, their infantry will be able to garrison inside the vehicles and fire from the inside. They give true meaning to the word blitzkrieg.
Units:
1. Jagdpanther- Uber Tank
2. King Tiger - God Tank

Hehe, über tank + god tank = unstoppable!
The M7 Priest is an annoying piece of shit. Even I admit it's good in firepower - but no defense.
The Churchill tank was just stupid on the part of the british, weak armor and no firepower! >:)
Heh...The Brits will have the worst tanks/vehicles in the game. They focus more on entrenched positions, artillery, and infantry, just the way i like it. This actually seems to be an army built just for my style and preference of play.
Eh paano, Canadian Artillery?! wtf
The Jagdpanther was considered the best tank destroyer during the war. Glad that they thought of putting it in the game!
Finally, the King Tiger has arrived.
*7th Scottish* Royal Engineer Corps at your service Sir!
Good, join us and lead the British to victory. >=D
