Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel – Kursk 1943 (Third Edition)

One of the best WW2 tactical games just got a lot better. The new spent die mechanic adds a new level of uncertainly, and eliminates the need for an opportunity fire mechanism. In the first game I played the Germans. My units exchanged fire with Russian units in cover, not doing much damage. I had a unit fail a spent check on it's second move on the board. A Russian rifle squad unit charged a fresh (but stressed) German Panzer Grenadier squad and get eliminated for it's trouble. The new Conflict of Heroes is exciting, tense, and has great realism. Good tactics produce good results. I highly recommend this game and system.

Arrived today after more than a 4 year wait! The quality is everything that I expected. I think this is the best tactical WW2 game I own! welldone Academy Games.

This is the best war game on the market. You don't get bogged down in rules but still have a lot of decisions to make.

Conflict of Heroes was my introduction to hex-based wargames and it remains one of my favorites. I understand why some people might prefer the 2nd edition rules, but I think 3rd edition is sublime. In fact, I was playing my own home-brewed version of 3rd edition for years before this arrived.

This 3rd Edition took many years to design. It is now much more streamlined and includes soldier's stress and cognitive suppression. Thanks for everyone's patience as we playtested the development of this edition with gamers and military personnel world wide. :)
