Company of Heroes 2 pre-order bonuses announced

With the closed beta up and running, Sega announced pre-order bonuses for Company of Heroes 2 today. Plunking down your money early will get you a mini-campaign, more skins, and extra abilities.

The "Theater of War" mini-campaign will come sometime after launch, granting a new single-player story, and you'll also get Winter Ambush and Voronezh Front skin packs. Finally, pre-orders can get German and Soviet commanders with extra abilities. The Germans get the Joint Operations Doctrine, which specializes in artillery strikes, and the Offensive Spearhead Doctrine, which specializes in heavy armor and airstrikes. Soviets, meanwhile, get the Anti-Infantry Tactics Doctrine, which adds flamethrower tanks, and the Conscript Support Tactics Doctrine, which allows for rapid reinforcements.
