Plenty of people ask me what's the best way to learn to play Relic Entertainment's Company of Heroes, and I honestly don't know what to tell them. Sure, you could play through the campaigns of the original and expansion, but they'll also teach you some bad habits. You could also watch player-made video tutorials online, but they don't get across the stress of actually attempting to command multiple types of troops at once. The best way to learn is probably just jumping in and getting your ass kicked a few times, watching replays to figure out what your opponent did to outsmart you.
