Relic Entertainment's second RTS game of the year is now complete. Relic's owner-publisher THQ sent over word that Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor has now gone gold and will ship to stores on April 9. The stand alone expansion to the acclaimed WWII-themed game will set you back $29.99. Relic, of course, previously released Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War II this year.

The game features three small single player campaigns, each of which is based on a real-life WWII battle. The game also contains three new multiplayer modes and maps, new units and what THQ is calling "direct fire" which supposedly gives the player more tactical control in the game. Even though it's a stand alone expansion, Tales of Valor is compatible with the original Company of Heroes game and its first expansion Opposing Fronts.
