Conflict of Heroes Review - with Joe Steadman

[Shayne1smith]

Are there any modern era war games or games similar to this or even as basic as memoir 44 that are in the modern era?

[TheToekutter]

This game looks interesting. I love SL/ASL but ASL is a huge time sink. There's an elegance in simplified tactical level wargaming that's hard to find. I might check this one out.

where do you buy your games from?

[pbeccas]

You sold me. Copy ordered.

[GLHFan]

Looks like a game I will have to pick up.

Nice review, thanks

[StexeGod]

Sounds interesting. What's your wife's take on the game? Has she played it and does she like it? I like the idea of more streamlined and "Euro" wargames, but I'm not a fan of 2 player ones.

[wargamecop]

She likes it, she has found it easy to pick up and not to fiddly.

jfridy,

Did you listen to the review? I corrected the way I said his name. :)

[guitarsolointhewind]

Have you thought about showing some of these games in action? I'd be interested to see a brief out take from a climactic point in the game with an explanation of what's going on.

[jfridy]

Uwe is pronounced Oooh Vah.

And trust, me, he's been playing wargames for as long as he's been playing Eruos.

In playtesting, he kept shaving down the rules and making things as visual as possible. He wanted to make a Squad Leader using the ideas from the last 20 years of game design. Given I can teach this in 15 minutes, I think he pulled it off.

[YoksterMan]

I bought this for a buddy of mine and can't wait to play it with him.

Great review, Definitely going to pick this up!

Thanks

[wargamecop]

teamgh0ul, if you listen to the entire review you will see that I corrected my pronunciation of Uwe's name.

[teamgh0ul]

yeah, i couldnt edit it after. doh!

[teamgh0ul]

I nearly squirmed when you almost destroyed your box taking out the maps! haha

oh, I think Uwe is pronounced as "oova."

[Grudunza]

Good job, Joe. This is one I'd like to try at some point.
