I remember reading a bunch on this game; the technology was super advnaced for its time (software rendering = awesome curved surfaces, whodathunk?!). I haven't gotten around to ever playing it, though.
1) Find a good book with good action sequences and analyze.
2) Watch a good action movie, and then find a good action scene. Practice describing the scene on paper. Do this several times and look at how youchange your wording. Do this with writer friends to see how everyone compares.
3) My little brother has a lot of lego action figures lying around the house; I sometimes steal them and then coreograph the entire scene.
I also like that because the game (which I assume is Company of Heroes) is based on World War II, the game concept doesn't hold anyone back from enjoying your work. Though I'm a WWII fan ("fan" in loose terms, I find the entire event darkly fastinating), so I know all the coutries and their sides. If the work gets any more complex, make sure you include some context.
