In Development
Sturm Europa
is a grand strategic simulation that recreates the entire European conflict during the Second World War. Wooden blocks are used to depict army sized units that create "fog of war" by not revealing unit type and strength until committed to battle.

Easy: No bookkeeping and no “lookup” rules which are trademarks of overly complex simulations.
Historically Accurate: Painstakingly researched from authoritative and up-to-date sources.
Fun: Alternating player actions and response cards eliminate downtime!
Epic:  Truly a grand simulation encompassing military, political, and technological developments.
Multi-player: Scenarios for 2 or 3 players.  Command the Allied, Axis, or Soviet forces!
Challenging: Realistic enough to mirror history.  Flexible enough to completely rewrite it!

User Reviews

Conflict of Heroes rated #1 war game in 2008 on BoardGameGeek.com!
R. Mataka
One of the best boardgames I've come across in quite some time.
R. Glanze
This game raises the bar for production and gameplay for all wargames to follow.
Stefan L.
My oh my. What a game!
B. Ferreira
The CoH system encourages realistic combined weapons interaction to accurately portray battlefield usage.
M. King
After demoing the game with my 10 year old son (who picked up the rules for this game right away—much more quickly than he did Tide of Iron or CC:E), I asked him if he liked it. He smiled and nodded. Me too, I said.
P. Bogdasarian
COH is what I have been looking for in a "lite" WWII wargame. It is easy to teach and plays very smoothly.
T. Hancock
Every second of the game is tense and you are constantly thinking, reacting, formulating new plans, etc. Even euro players should take a look at this.
J. Mann
Finally a wargame that computer gamers and Eurogamers love to play!
