Disposable Heroes and Coffin For Seven Brothers: Infantry and Vehicle Small Unit Skirmish Wargaming in WWII

Excellent translation of the feel of man-to-man WWII action. Smooth system keeps action flowing without ever bogging down.

Not sure about these rules yet. Sometimes target accruing is a little stupid.

Simple and effective. With complex choices to make. Bloody and fun. Allows weapons to be different without too much detail. Embraced by our whole club.

Highly recommended

In brief, this game is like Up Front with miniatures. It is a fun, tense and engaging game that always leads to a fun time. I've got more plays of it than I've remembered to log, probably at least 10 more.

One of the best WWII man-to-man system I've ever played. Fast and easy, every game is a different movie. We added some house rules and some decks of cards for Turn Sequence, Artillery and Random Events cards.

Rules emphasize firepower over maneuver. I prefer Nuts.

One of the best set of "fun" rules for 28mm WWII combat I've seen, Disposable Heroes offers simplicity with a basic level of realism that most light-weight wargames lack.

The game seems to bog down if there are too many troops in the field. (Two platoons per player seems to be the limit) I hope to try an exclusively armoured East Front battle soon.

I have played a lot of WWII platoon level miniature games. This is the best. Simple and innovative rule mechanics with straight forward combat resolution. I like this game a lot.

Played at conventions a few times. This feels like Warhammer 40k redone in WW2. It's not really a skirmish game, entire squads are controlled at once. There are other skirmish games I'd rather play.

Revised evaluation: This is the only skirmish-like game we can pick up and remember after not playing any WWII for a year. It's not perfect, and if I were playing more often than twice per year I'd probably play Arc of Fire. But since we play only occasionally, easy rules that basically work are better than good rules we forgot.
