Conflict of Heroes Release Date

This exciting new release is a faithful adaptation of the renowned Conflict of Heroes board game that won the Origins Historical Game of the Year, Charles Roberts Wargame of the Year and the James F. Dunnigan Design Elegance Award, as well as many others!

Designed and developed in cooperation with Uwe Eickert, the original designer of Conflict of Heroes, and Western Civlization Software, the award-winning computer wargame studio, no effort has been spared to bring the outstanding Conflict of Heroes gameplay to the computer. Conflict of Heroes includes an AI opponent as well as full multiplayer support with an integrated forum and game lobby. To remain true to the core gameplay of the board game, the PC version is designed to be fun, fast and easy to play, though hard to master. The game design is also historically accurate and teaches and rewards platoon and company-level combined arms tactics without overwhelming the player with rules.

Iain,

Quick question; I pre-ordered from Academy Games and my notification was from Matrix. Does this mean that those of us who pre-ordered from Academy will be able to download as well? I would think for the price we paid, both the physical copy and download are available. Please advise.

I'm not sure exactly how these have been handled so will need to check and get back to you. Normally any purchase via a reseller would not get a download link as we never deal directly with the customer but in that case I would not expect you to get an e-mail from us either. I can't see how you got an e-mail to be honest as we have not collected any orders for the game so these must have been handled outside the system and that means no mails should have been generated.

Hi Marcus,
ORIGINAL: Marcus the leper
Quick question; I pre-ordered from Academy Games and my notification was from Matrix. Does this mean that those of us who pre-ordered from Academy will be able to download as well? I would think for the price we paid, both the physical copy and download are available. Please advise.

We worked things out with our warehouse so that the pre-orders from Academy Games could be shipped out by us directly to the pre-order customers on the release date. This does not apply to the pre-orders that wanted a signed copy, as Uwe will still have to receive those games, sign them and then send them out. Everyone else will get their order shipped out ASAP - hopefully all will ship today, should be no later than tomorrow.

There is no download attached to these orders, as they are physical orders that are being fulfilled by us on behalf of Academy Games directly through our warehouse, rather than orders that went through our store system. Sorry, but if you want a download the only way to get one is to order through our store. I believe Academy Games was clear on only selling the physical copy.

Regards,

Thanks for the heads up...for some reason I presumed the "boxed edition" was a "Standard Edition" and the "Collectors Edition" was pending. I'm not sure how I came to that conclusion but I'm grateful for the clarification.

No, I totally understand Erik and I accept that. Matrix is always who I purchase from and for some reason, I reacted too quickly and couldn't restrain my urge to have the game immediately when I place my pre-order two months ago. I ignorantly figured Academy would make the game availalbe sooner than any other option. Lesson learned=always purchase from Matrix! Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.
