Machine guns ranges

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.

Machine guns ranges

I see that the range of HMGs and Maxims are reduced in the PC game (from 18 to 12 for HMG and from 12 to 9 for Maxim), while the ranges of most other units have been maintained. Why this reduction ?

I took those ranges in the v1 AtB rules (available here : http://academy-games.com/images/stories ... 022009.zip).

But I see now that the rules have somewhat changed since the release of Storm of Steel, where it's true that the ranges has been reduced to the more realistic values of 12 for the HMGs and 9 for the Maxims.

So everything is OK.

Hi Moet,

We tried to keep up to date with the latest rules as much as possible during development, that's the reason for the difference you are seeing.

Regards,
