Infinite Manpower Cheat in Company of Heroes? (No — Legit Strategies to Maximize Income)

No cheat code for infinite manpower exists in Company of Heroes (1 or 2). Relic intentionally omitted resource cheats to preserve competitive balance.

Legit Ways to Maximize Manpower (CoH 1 & 2)

1. Control Supply Points (The Core Mechanic)

• **Capture & Hold** Strategic Points (fuel/ammo) and **Munitions/Fuel Points**.
• Each point ticks manpower (MP) / fuel / munitions per minute.
• **Cut off enemy sectors** → their income drops to 0.
• **Decap** (neutralize) points faster than capping — use fast units (bikes, jeeps, scout cars).

2. Upgrade Headquarters / Base Buildings

• CoH1: Wehrmacht **Kriegsbarracks** → **Kampfgruppe** → **Panzer Command** — each tier increases MP income cap.
• CoH2: Base building tiers (T1–T4) unlock units *and* increase MP income rate.
• Soviet / USF / OKW / UKF: Specific tech structures boost income.

3. Commander / Doctrine Abilities

• CoH1: **Luftwaffe Supply** (para drop supplies), **Terror Doctrine** (V1 rocket → wipe squads → reclaim MP).
• CoH2: **Mechanized Assault** (M5 halftrack), **Urban Defense** (forward assembly), **Soviet Industry** (fuel/manpower conversion).
• Choose commanders with **manpower float** abilities for your playstyle.

4. Unit Preservation (Negative MP Drain)

• **Retreat (T)** early — reinforces cheaper than rebuild.
• **Veterancy:** Vet 3 units fight 2× longer = less reinforcement cost.
• **Medics / Healing:** USF Ambulance, UKF Medics, OKW Medic Truck, Sov Base Medics — keep squads in field.
• **Vehicle Repair:** Pioneers, REs, CE, Sturm — repair tanks instead of replacing.

5. Cache / Supply Drop (CoH2)

• **Wehrmacht / OKW:** Build **Fuel/Muni Caches** on points → +4/+4 per min. Manpower cache = +4 MP/min.
• **USF / UKF / Sov:** No caches. Use supply drops / half-tracks.

6. Mods (Single Player / Custom Games)

• CoH1: Eastern Front, Blitzkrieg, Modern Combat — some add resource options.
• CoH2: Workshop mods — “Infinite Resources” for custom matches. **Not ranked/automatch.**

Master map control. Manpower follows territory. The best “cheat” is cutting off the enemy.
