Conflict of Heroes:Storms of Steel. Kursk1943

[Ken7]

Hi everyone . Im just wondering if there will be a computer version of Conflict of Heroes:Storms of Steel. Kursk 1943? I sure hope so because Im having a blast playing the Awakening The Bear computer version.

[ericbabe]

Yes.

[Ken7]

I take all this time to compose my question and I get a one word answer. lol... Super reply though. [:D]

[fentum]

When?

[Ratzki]

How about a little teaser with what the new release might or might not contain, maybe even a couple pics to look at as well.

[ericbabe]

Sorry. Yes there will be.

[fentum]

Oh you cheeky monkey! [:D]

[zanekin]

Today we've seen a little teaser : the cover jacket...

No ?

[Ratzki]

Any news on this or the dlc?

[ericbabe]

We're in the process of finalizing the SOS unit models. I'll try to put some screenshots together when that is finished.

We expect to be moving into beta testing on the DLC by early next month.

[Ratzki]

Yes, a few screenshots would wet the whistle.

[Ratzki]

Any SoS screen shots to look at yet?

[KEYSTONE07950]

I have a deal for Matrix......You release Storms of Steel (or just show screen shots) and I'll buy Ghost Divisions!!

PS: I planned on buying Ghost Divisions regardless. [:)]

Since, each WCS adaptation of COH serie seems to be really close to the original boardgame product I Wonder if the new one introduce the shared activation rules or not.

To be more descriptive for the people who doesn't experiment the 2nd edition of the rules (the upgrade of Sos in 2010, and of AtB last year), it introduced a new exception to the rule allowing only one unit to be activated at a time: with the basic 7 AP (plus potential CP), a player may activated several units, even non-adjacent; of course each unit will be flipped at the end of the activation.

It's a strong modification of the gameplay not implement yet. Will it be a part of the new release ?

[FightingJuarez]

I agree that this would be a nice feature to implement!

[general_solomon]

will there be a bundle pack with the base game and all dlc's?

[ericbabe]

I don't know whether we have time in the schedule to allow non-adjacent units to be allowed to be activated in group-movement like this. Some of the rule changes that take only a couple sentences of written English end up requiring hundreds of lines of new code to implement, and a lot of additional testing work.

There won't be any bundle packs soon. We really need to assess how well the DLC sells on its own so we can figure out whether we should do more DLC packs.

[Blond_Knight]

Is there any ETA for SOS?

[zanekin]

"I don't know whether we have time in the schedule to allow non-adjacent units to be allowed to be activated in group-movement like this."


Well, in fact, shared activation is not a group activation. It's far more simple: each unit act sequentially with the same amount of AP...

[ericbabe]

SOS should be released in Q3 2013.

In terms of the game engine, shared activation would be a variant form of group activation.
