Expansions and Mods
Company of Heroes has two standalone expansions, Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valour, released in 2007 and 2009 respectively. The Opposing fronts expansion adds the British and the Panzer Elite as new factions. Someone with the original game may play someone online who only owns the expansion, and vice versa. Tales of Valour adds new game modes to Company of Heroes.
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts followed suit with the original game by scoring very highly on metascore, gaining on average 87/100. Tales of Valour did not perform as well scoring 70/100.
A popular mod for Company of Heroes is Eastern Front, which adds the Soviets as a new allied faction to the game as well as new maps to be played in on or offline skirmish games. You cannot play against someone online with this mod if they do not have the mod installed themselves. To play the game with the Eastern Front mod, launch the game using the Eastern Front launcher (supplied with the mod), to play the game without the mod, simply launch the game in the conventional manner.

Steam version startup crash
The latest Steam version of this game won't start on some systems, crashing back to the desktop immediately. To solve this, navigate into the application folder:

Now, replace the file XThread.dll with an older, un-patched version of this file. You can get this from a fresh CD installation or from several sources on the web.
Second monitor blacking out
When launching the game on a dual screen setup the secondary monitor will often be blacked out. To fix this hit alt+enter twice.
