Introduction
Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear! - Russia 1941-42 was published by Academy Games in 2008. A second game, Storms of Steel - Kursk 1943 was released in 2009. While both games so far announced by the publisher are set in World War II Soviet Union, the front page of the publisher's website describes the game as following the development of modern day squad and platoon level tactics starting with World War II through modern day Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and goes on to list Korea, Vietnam and Africa as further examples. Therefore possible future game expansions might be set in any war scenario of the last 60 years or more.
The game has been hailed as an excellent edition to the available wargame lineup in that Conflict of Heroes uses simplified rules compared to other wargames such as Advanced Squad Leader. It is easy for beginners to learn and games can be quite short if all players are experienced. The game can accommodate up to four players, but many of the included firefight scenarios are only designed for two players.

Famous quotes containing the word introduction:
“My objection to Liberalism is this—that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind—namely, politics—of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“For better or worse, stepparenting is self-conscious parenting. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
—Anonymous Parent. Making It as a Stepparent, by Claire Berman, introduction (1980, repr. 1986)
“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
