Conflict of Heroes: Details on the Second Game, and Online Play

Somewhat old news, but I missed it the first go round, so here ‘tis: Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel! – Eastern Front 1943-45 will be the second title in the Conflict of Heroes series of tactical squad-fighting games rom Uwe Eickert. The previously announced interim subtitle was “Steel Rain.” Here’s a game description from the publisher’s website:

Storms of Steel witnesses the epic retreat and eventual defeat of the Wehrmacht on the eastern front.

• All new units including Tiger tanks, Soviet rockets, strafing airplanes, Soviet cavalry, elite units, and much more!
• New map boards, including bombed out cities maps!
• All new firefights, including detailed historical backgrounds.

Storms of Steel continues the groundbreaking game concepts introduced in Awakening the Bear with new highly integrated airplane and anti-air rules. Stukas dive bomb, Sturmoviks strafe, and FlaKpanzer Wirbelwinds desperately try to fend off the death from above.

Storms of Steel was previously announced as a June 2009 release at the Origins game convention. The game’s title has been updated on Gone Cardboard.

As for the first CoH title, Awakening the Bear can be played online by up to four players. For details on downloading and running the application, visit the news section of the Conflict of Heroes website.
