Conflict of Heroes is now scheduled for the first quarter of 2012. It's coming along well, but was not quite ready in time for a pre-Christmas release.

It's coming along very nicely. [:D]

and what do i get for £5?

i know youre tempted

[JudgeDredd]

PM me...

Joke.

Seriously though I enjoy testing it...I think I can say (without breaking the NDA) that it's not a straight boardgame to PC conversion - though the essence of the game is most definitely there - you will know you are playing Conflict of Heroes if you've played the boardgame.

It's coming along - looking rather sleek.

When a forum goes up is when more can be posted and discussed I guess - with AARs and such.

What is Conflict of Heroes JD? Is it like Panzer Grenadier or Squad Battles?

can you say if its got PBEM? is it turn based?

[JudgeDredd]

Sorry lads - hands are kind of tied at the mo.

I guess if you know anything about the boardgame then you'd know that it's individual units scale (tanks, arty etc) and squad sized units (rifle squad, smg squad etc).

If I get my finger out and get back to testing it'll be released sooner rather than later [:D]

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to give some info on it as it is turning out a cool game - but NDA means no real info can come out yet. Suffice to say it's coming along nicely, has a fair few variable options to vary gameplay and a fair few firefights.

That's all folks.

thanks JD - was merely suggesting i kick your ass at PBEM when its released!!!

Are you the only beta tester??

[JudgeDredd]

no - there's a few

[wodin]

Hmm it not being actaully like the boardgame is a worry. My expectations have now decreased massively.

Hi Wodin,

It's a lot like the board game, with some concessions to the computer game format. The only differences were discussed and agreed between Uwe Eickert and the lead developer.

i must be hard of hearing Erik, did you say 'yes ill post some screenshots and a beta AAR'?

its what it sounded like to me [;)]

[Erik Rutins]

That will happen soon actually. Hopefully before the end of the year, if not then very early next year.

OK. I suppose where talking animations and sound effects here. I can live with that obviously. Now if where talking about adding things to make use of a PC like for instance each squad has individual soldiers and weapons and individual soldier losses can be incured similar to Squad battles then thats great news. A more advanced Squad Battles is what I'm hoping for. Fingers crossed.

Is this an in house Matrix title or is there an Indy developer making it?

[Erik Rutins]

More info will be coming soon, but this is being done by a well respected and well known development team with top selling games in the Matrix Online Store.

[wodin]

Excellent. I was just trying to see if I could get squeeze some info out of you. Should have known better. I wonder if it's the WW2 game that the Forge of Freedom team are working on (I'm sure I read something over there). Or I rememeber Lordz saying they are busy thats why the WW1 game is being delayed.

Hmm...I need Poirot.

No need.

Gil Renberg from WCS :

"I can say that it's WWII. Beyond that I shouldn't say more, simply because this forum isn't the right place for such an announcement. But I do expect an announcement soon. (And then you will understand why that was prioritized.)"

Let me guess, you simplified the turn sequence to make it pure i-go-you-go instead of giving the non-phasing player a chance to interrupt actively. Maybe interruption is automatic like in other conventional computer games.

[wodin]

Or even better made it WEGO. That would fit in more to the board game.
