Memoir 44

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.

Memoir 44

Post by junk2drive »

Any fans of Memoir 44 here?

I haven't played M44 in years but in 3D mode this game reminds me a lot of M44.
Conflict of Heroes "Most games are like checkers or chess and some have dice and cards involved too. This game plays like checkers but you think like chess and the dice and cards can change everything in real time."

Played it some. I have an account for the new web driven version hosted by Days of Wonder. It's a very impressive interface I got to give them that. Looks great. The gameplay of M44 does not stack up however. I'll play CoH or Tide of Iron over M44 any day.

I've played quite a bit of it in the past. It's a good light wargame, great for conventions, for when you want a more beer and pretzels board game night or don't have as much time to play, also good for introducing people to wargames. Overall though, I also lose interest in the gameplay if I play it too often though, it doesn't have enough to really hold my interest.

I bought Tide of Iron for a friend, but haven't had a chance to play that yet. I am (obviously) a big fan of COH as a game that is not that much more complex, but much more rewarding and realistic.

Regards,

The game rules are very diferent when compared to M44. It's a step closer to Squad Leader without the complex phases and rules.
