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

Figures.

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.

Rules emphasize firepower over maneuver. I prefer Nuts.

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.

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

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.

Tabletop Wargame

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.

I've played several games now, and have found it to be easy to grasp, fast play, and detailed enough to sort out what happened and why. Now I'm addicted to it.
