About

Awakening the Bear is the first game in the multi-award winning Conflict of Heroes series. In it, players control individual squads and tanks to resolve the same tactical dilemmas and decisions that commanders faced during some of the most ferocious engagements of WWII. CoH features a fast and fluid system that is easy to learn but realistic to all of the unique theaters of battle portrayed. Fun: Quick simultaneous play allows players to interact without waiting. Easy: Teach a new player how to play in under 5 minutes. No charts! Historically Accurate: Portrays realistic forces and tactics. Counters: Depict individual vehicles, airplanes, guns, squads and more. Consistent: Each game in the series uses the same rule system. 2nd Edition includes all new artwork, more units & firefights. This thread discusses the differences between 1st and 2nd edition in more detail.
