Rising mightily and requiring you attention is Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear! This faithful adaptation of the board game was developed alongside the game's original designer, Uwe Eickert, making this freshly released tactical turn-based World War II title truly something to watch out for.

Set on the Eastern Front during Operation Barbarossa, Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear! tasks players with commanding German or Russian forces between 1941-1942, complete with a historical roster of infantry, armor and artillery units. Players will be able to command the board while using either traditional chit-style graphics or 3D units, as well as either a flexible 3D camera view or top-down 2D view.

You'll be employing realistic military tactics against the AI or other commanders in multiplayer and enjoying a multitude of scenarios, ten of which from the original board game. There's also a fully-featured scenario editor included.
