Angriff!
Fall WeiSS – Polen 1939
Angriff! aka Conflict of Heroes is a series of games on the topic of battles from WWII. The first two parts of the series feature the topics of Eastern Front 1941-52 and Eastern Front 1943, especially focusing on the tank battle at Kursk. The basic rules are the same in all games of the series, and are supplemented and modified in each game according to scenarios, additions and topics of each game. Part 3 of this series, PRICE OF HONOR POLAND 1939 is not a stand-alone game as are the first two parts, but an expansion that can only be played together with one the two first, basic games. It simulates the attack on Poland by Germany in September 1939 which was the first implementation of the Blitzkrieg tactics.
At the start of the game you choose a skirmish and set up the scenario. In each round of the game you implement the following stages: Deactivate used pieces, reduce or remove smoke markers, reset Order Action points, take action cards if told to do so by the scenario, decide on targets for the artillery, implement actions for the artillery decided on in the previous round, prepare reinforcement and roll for initiative.
Conflict of Heroes provides a dense, accurate and very detailed simulation, with fast interactive game play and easy-to-learn rules. These need to be mentioned especially, they explain all details in five sections with scenarios to played, including a solo game that can be used for all skirmishes. The historical background is authentically integrated and the uniform rules facilitate the transit from one game to the other.
