But you should know that it is simpler (and less time-consuming) than Squad Leader, Tide of Iron, and Bolt Action. “If you are a fan of some of our favorite WW2 board games you will probably enjoy the Company of Heroes board game as well. While the CoH board game shares some common elements with skirmish games and tabletop miniatures games, (players are maneuvering units around on a map after all), it has such a large focus on securing, collecting, and spending resources that the end experience is quite different,” developer Bad Crow Games explained. “The important distinction to consider is that this is a cross between tactical skirmish games and economy-based resource management games so it feels and plays differently than most other games out there. The Kickstarter pitch says that it’s aimed squarely at fans of the CoH series who like board games, and if you’re just a board game fan then it’s more of a “probably” situation, depending on “personal tastes and the type of game you are looking for.” It is like the Company of Heroes videogames, and that’s what the developers are aiming for. Relic’s Second World War RTS Company of Heroes is coming in a board game format soon, courtesy of a Kickstarter for a “streamlined board game experience” with resource gathering, unit investments and upgrades, special units and commanders, and “simplified” combat that puts a reward on positioning, cover, mixed firepower, and knowing how and when to put your special skills to use.
