Intent on resurgence is Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear! This well-accomplished board game adaptation by Western Civilization Software is being refreshed with the arrival of the impressive v1.14 update.
The v1.14 update is incredibly massive, chock full of improvements and fixes to make Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear! a hard-hitting wargame. Great care was taken to listen to both the computer and board game communities, and a lot of the features requested made it into the update. Getting the update will give players the option of playing with the fully-implemented Classic AP system that matches the board game AP system, as well as wonderfully-detailed 2D board game-style maps in very high resolution to complete the experience! Unit counters also received a resolution upgrade, becoming even more visible and showing dynamic stats through each match!
Basic campaign support is also present in the v1.14 update, allowing players through new custom campaigns to advance all surviving units between multiple firefights, gaining critical experience. A new line of sight tool was also added to aid for those wanting to check if they have the ever-important shot on the rear of lumbering Russian tank. For those that like to challenge human opponents, improved multiplayer support is available as well through better version checking and the ability to set game options while in the lobby.
A complete rundown of the fixes and improvements is listed in this changelog. If you have the game run "Check for Update" via the game menu or download it here.
For those unfamiliar with the game now is a great time to get acquainted with it as, alongside the update, a demo has now also been unleashed comprising three scenarios and the ability to play them through the multiplayer lobby with other players.
