New Add-on to Awakrning the Bear

[Bismarck]

 Blitzkrieg on the Eastern Front!

Conflict of Heroes: Ghost Divisions is an expansion to the critically acclaimed tactical computer wargame Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear, which is in turn the official adaptation of the award-winning board game by the same name.  Conflict of Heroes: Ghost Divisions adds two exciting new campaigns to Conflict of Heroes as well as full multiplayer support, allowing those campaigns to be played head to head using the integrated multiplayer server.

Army Group Center, under the command of Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, fought a series of pocket battles as it pushed towards Moscow in the summer of 1941.

The Army Group consisted of the 4th Army ( von Kluge ) and the 9th Army (Strauss ) in the center.

The wings of the Army Group were the fast moving armor and motorised units of the two Panzer Groups.  Panzer Group 3 under Hermann Hoth formed the Northern wing.  Panzer Group 2 under Heinz Guderian formed the Southern wing.  The two Panzer Groups smashed through the Russian defenses and performed a series of pincer movements, trapping large groups of enemy forces.

The speed with which these forces moved and the surprise that their appearance often created in the enemy often made them seem like ghosts, appearing in areas where no enemies were thought to be to strike suddenly at a flank or encircle a strong position.  Speed, coordination, concentration and combined arms allowed the Wehrmacht to control the initiative and keep the Red Army reeling.

Still, the forces of the Panzer Groups were often stretched thin. Some Soviet units fought to escape, while others fought to open the pockets to save their comrades. Many battles were chaotic and the front lines shifted as the battles evolved. In the end, hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers surrendered, and entire Russian Armies were destroyed.

Conflict of Heroes: Ghost Divisions puts you in command of platoon and company-sized forces from the 7th Panzer Division and the Grossdeutschland Regiment in challenging scenarios that can be played as part of two linked campaigns or as completely stand-alone scenarios.

With new multiplayer campaign support as well as two exciting new campaigns, Conflict of Heroes: Ghost Divisions is a great new add-on for any Conflict of Heroes player.



Please note: Conflict of Heroes: Ghost Divisions REQUIRES ownership of Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear.  It will also work with the upcoming Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel.

Not even an add on will entice me to play this again.  Can't seem to appreciate the game mechanics and think that it is too gamey to the point that real world tactics don't work.   I'll stick to Squad Battles and probably wait for Lock n Load.

i downloaded the demo and i dig the nice graphics and the ui. but the game mechanic left me unimpressed.
i had high hopes for this one, but it did not grab me at all somehow. thus i am a little sceptic in regards to
the L'n'L title. Barthheart may has played both. How are those game different?

They play very differently from each other. I found CoH to be a lighter game, not as tense, and therefore not as much fun.
CoH has a huge following so it does appeal to lots of people just not me.
LnL hits all the right buttons for me for squad level tactical wargaming, tight intense scenarios that pretty much always come down to the last die roll of the last turn to determine the winner.
Lots of people don't like the way mg's act in LnL.... ASL has convinced everyone they should act a certain way.... me I think Mark hit it just right for playablilty and depth.

I really enjoyed CoH and I'm looking forward to this one.

Same here....!   Very much looking forward to this.

I've enjoyed CoH as well.  I'm looking forward to the add-on.

How I wish CoH would get released in a version for iOS / Android.  I'm pretty lukewarm about how the game plays on my desktop, but I'm convinced it would be awesome on the iPad.
