Guess could just remove this thread Mods...no one is using it anyway...don't know if there is a remove button....
RE: New Info/Questions Here
Knowing the board game rules required? Although knowing the rules will make this game more enjoyable I'm guessing.
RE: New Info/Questions Here
So...(Wodin)...What boardgame rules would be applicable to this release? Any LnL rules?
RE: New Info/Questions Here
No idea K9mike...with it being in development so long would be difficult to say. Personally I'm staying away from the rules. Mainly because for me it may take away some of the immersion. Remember as it's a boardgame and things will be very simple and abstract under the hood, where I like to think it's all very complex and realistic. Rules I say Band of heroes 2nd edition and Swift and Bold and Not one Step Back and maybe even Dark July all those will have rules that I presume will be used..plus new rules for the PC game as said below. Also we have a campaign system in the PC game.
Here are two quotes for the game page..
"A turn-based game, Heroes of Stalingrad retains Lock 'n Load's engaging impulse system while adding features, such as flanking fire, hidden units, and residual machine gun fire, that would just be too fiddly for the boardgame. "
" Heroes of Stalingrad is NOT a board game. We hate to say that, but we get these kinda questions. It's a seriously amped, turn-based, razor-sharp AI boosted computer game. For Windows PC. Not Mac. Yet. Maybe later. "

How good is FOW. I'm guessing more along the lines of BORG spotting used.
RE: New Info/Questions Here
Do weapons have limited ammo supply?
RE: New Info/Questions Here
Can infantry units go berserk or fanatic.
RE: New Info/Questions Here
Are hulldown positions modeled in HOS.
RE: New Info/Questions Here
I think that is in the boardgame..also hero unit mechanic.ORIGINAL: Bradley62

There might be a downloadable rule book somewhere online you could read.
Highly unlikely this will be Tank heavy as the maps aren't huge. Also if it's set in Stalingrad itself few tanks where used..mainly for support purpose and then had huge difficulty trying to move. I imagine it's going to be Infantry centric.
Ammo supply etc..again unlikely a boardgame models that to any high degree. HPS SB did it but in a fudged up way sadly. This isn't going to be a totally different game to the boardgame going by the counter Info, though I'd love it if boardgame abstractions had been taken out altogether and we had individual weapons and men and proper ammo supply...ROF etc etc, though this isn't the case.

Can weapons MG get jammed during battle.

k9mike, download this print and play demo for Band of Heroes. It has a map, counters and rules to play the included scenario. Heroes of Stalingrad will play just like this... with a few additions that are available because of PC play.

The rules will be the same as the board game. Knowing those will make you a better player.

Same as in the board game, once a hex is spotted, it's spotted for everyone. Until the end of the current turn. Then you need to be spotted again.

Some. Like a satchel charge is one use only. Most have unlimited ammo.

Not as such. There is a mechanism for squads to spawn a hero unit. These have special abilities when fighting... especially in melee.
