Company of Heroes 3 British Forces Battlegroups guide
As with other Company of Heroes 3 Battlegroups, the British Forces faction allows you to select from three main options or branches. Once you earn enough commander points (i.e., XP) and pick one, you’ll be locked-in. Your selection will then have a couple of trees with multiple perks.
