Company of Heroes - WWII Board Game
/
Board Games – WWII is such a popular topic for gamers of all types. This latest batch of minis are a few expansions for the board game from Bad Crow Games based on a video game by Relic/Sega.
Here’s a summary from the manufacturer:
"Company of Heroes", the World War 2 board wargame, is based on the video game from Relic/Sega. It closely captures the choices, tactics and mission strategies of the videogame. In teams, or as individuals, players will maneuver units and battle for control points to collect manpower, munitions and fuel. Players spend these resources to construct new buildings, purchase units and upgrade abilities, eventually unlocking the powerful end-game units of their nation. To win, players will either attempt to collect enough victory points before their opponent does or totally annihilate the enemy's base.
