February Game of the Month- Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel! Kursk 1943

If anyone out there is looking for a good war game series with simple to follow rules which gently ease you into the game then check out the Conflict of Heroes series. The game pays homage to the war game of old but does so with style as in implements an action system where you use points to activate each unit on the board. Because of this brilliant system the game plays relatively simple as all the stats for each unit is on the over-sized chits. Storms of Steel is the second game in the series and shipped in 2009. There are more expansions on the way, all of which cover the many different theaters of World War II.

I have picked this game as my game of the month for February. What this means is that I am going to play this game for the entire month as much as I can. I am going to teach this game to my buddies and to my son not only to justify my purchase but to have a blast with what I like to do, play games. Stay tuned for my session reports.
