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.

Every time I try to host a multiplayer game through the lobby, or if I try to set up a Local Network game, I get an error dialogue which begins, "An invalid IP address was specified...."

I am using the 1.4 version of the game (but downloading the 1.7 beta whilst I type).

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get this working?

Hi gnomus, this appears to be a problem with the multiplayer server and not the game itself. I wrote directly to Eric Babe last night when I encountered it and he responded he would look into it today. I don't think he would mind me sharing his response so here it is:

Thanks for sending this. The debug file is empty since this is a release build of the game. I haven't changed anything in the multiplayer code for several versions, so perhaps the server is having issues or something. I'll test it tomorrow and see what I can find.

Best,
Eric

Is it still a problem today? (I can't test at the moment because am running a full project rebuild.)

I just tried and it still pulls the same error when trying to host up a multiplayer game.
