I awaited the release of this game - standalone or expansion, whichever you choose to call it - with great expectation since i just loved its predecessor. I was a bit worried about the the fact that it was released as a standalone and that the two new factions was so different, with one being focused on armor and the other more defense oriented. But when i finally came to try the game, my doubts ware quickly forgotten. I really feel like the developers did a good you balancing the factions, not only the two new ones, but all the four together. You might argue the single player campaigns are too short, but the multiplayer just adds to the existing Company of Heroes fun.
There is not really much else to say about this, that if you like the Company of Heroes, you like this game, but i wouldn't want to play this, without having the experience of the previous.
It's always difficult to make a good expansion or follow up to a great game, but i really feel this is a really good try.
