Close Combat

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.

Close Combat

Post by genehaynes »

While doing a little play testing (Partisians Turtorial, Human vs Human), I noticed the following regarding close combat:

I moved 1 Soviet unit into a hex containing 4 German units.
I passed on the German turn.
I attacked with the single Soviet unit and it attacked ALL FOUR GERMAN UNITS.

Is this correct?

The only detailed description I could find for conducting close combat was in the Price of Honour board game rules. These rules state that a unit can only attack ONE unit with close combat. To me this makes sense, as a single unit shouldn't be able to incapacitate / destroy multiple units in close combat. Should the PC rules be the same as the board games re: Close Combat?

I know it's highly unlikey that this situation would ever occur in an actual game, but I'm just wondering if the rules are correctly implemented.

Thanks for the heads up Cris. I guess it's working as designed (for now):)
