Your favorite strategy game

Company of Heroes is the best RTS ever.
Unlike C&C games, it doesn't focus on building a huge army and destroying your enemy in a few clicks. COH requires strategy and battle tactics. That's why it is the best, most realistic RTS ever.
As for C&C games, they're fun to play (especially RA and Generals), but all you have to learn is how to build up a huge force faster than the other guy. The factions aren't balanced and they tend to get boring after a month of playing.
Warcraft was an interesting game, but its basic story and concept was a 'Lord of the Rings' rip off. And the guys who made it obviously weren't humans themselves, since they made the human race the weakest one in the game.
Total War games have a great singleplayer, but a very bad multiplayer.
There are a lot of great RTS games out there, but Company of Heroes has a unique gameplay and it takes a lot more than a big army in order to win. It is the 'ultimate' RTS.
