So with that in mind, be sure to include your own favorites in the comment section below. Given the scope of WWII, any list of recommendations could be almost endless. They aren’t stories of far-removed commanders or politicians, but rather the men who had to carry out their orders in the various theaters of the 20th century’s most brutal war. In this edition of ‘If you like,’ I’ve picked media that takes a similar, soldier’s-eye-view approach to WWII. This perspective also nodded to the intensely personal stories in films like Saving Private Ryan and the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, both of which had appeared in the previous decade and enjoyed near-universal acclaim. From its squad-based point of view, the tide of battle in COH could be turned by the presence of a single soldier or unit.
With the WWII experience already so well-executed in other genres-shooters and grand strategy sims-COH found a middle ground where it could show the conflict from a new angle. Relic’s original 2006 RTS game was a hit partly because of the delicate way it walked a line that felt satisfying and authentic.
