[@olivialambert4124]

I used to play this map all the time. Me and a friend would play a 2+ hour match, 3 sometimes, against two AI players. We loved British plus American. Britain is great for setting up extremely potent defensive structures like the 17 pounder and mortars, whereas the Americans don't have to pay for their bunkers (unlike the British) and get a bonus for engineers loaded in the bunker. Both have good artillery and good armour so it would vary who goes armour and who goes artillery but that was our usual setup. I miss this game, I really want to install it again and play the same map we spent hundreds of hours on. I'm pretty sure its still in CoH 2, might be interesting to see how Russia fares on that map. The tactic was always build artillery, take out the enemy bridges, then repair our own bridges, then push when they can't retreat or reinforce their units so tanks would be rapidly killed. Repeat for all 3 areas, maybe put a bomb on each bridge so if they push us back we can blow it, and ultimately grind them down over a long period of time until we have everything and they have nothing.

[@marvelousdex9678]

@@alexanderrahl7034 far east war is really fun if you spam the field cannons for that ww1 feel of bombing the hell out everything. Their sound design is great. You could try verifying game files on steam, reinstalling Coh and checking the modpage if you haven't already, some mods may require you to input special launch commands or w/e depending on this and that. I didn't have to for far east but did for Blitzkrieg. Far east isn't particularly demanding as far as I know but if you got a wooden pc you should lower your settings beforehand. It might not work if you're using the legacy version though idk cause I never use it. Idk what to tell you if you're using a non steam copy and not the workshop. If the workshop is the one not working then try it on modb for manual install. If you're using Windows 10 then maybe it just decided to hate this particular game. It's refused to play command and conquer games for me before. Apart from all that; make sure your drivers are up to date (I forget to all the time and then have a problem cause of it), use task manager when you launch to see if anything shoots up, disable superfetch if it spikes up (if you have it) and look up the error code as it is when it pops up. Like if says "Error 1234 file failed to validate" Google the full exact words with Coh 1 included in "Coh 1 error code 1234 blah blah blah". That's my troubleshooting technique. If it fails then check the Coh Reddit board and stuff, if you find no one already talking about it then start a conversation about it.
