Is this game doing well enough that there will be further significant expansion beyond Ghost
Divisions and Storms of Steel? Its hard to imagine The Eastern Front without additional units, Stalingrad and the Battles of 1944 and 45. I'm trying to decide what is the better use of my money...COH and its future expansions or the Squad Battles series that covers the Eastern Front.

I have Conflict of Heroes as well as many of the Tiller Squad Battles series. I always have an Advance of the Reich PBEM on the go. I enjoy both games enough that I have made mods for both of them. However I play AOTR constantly because of the play by email option.

Storms of Steel will add many more units to the game which will make late war scenario design doable.
You can check out the Academy Games website to see how the boardgame is developing. Uwe is working on a Stalingrad game for the system.
I'm hoping the game is supported enough by players for WCS to keep expanding this excellent series.

We should do a PBEM AotR scenario sometime

Are you sure about that?

Here's a shot of the physical board 1st (on right) vs. 2nd ed board (on left) #4:

Here's a png in the maps folder from the PC game:

Note the faux wood tabletop border that the PC game uses. The hills are a giveaway to start. I'd do it live in game, but it crashes on launch (time for an update?).

I don't think the PC game ever had 1st ed maps.

Unless we're talking about something else (and the my apologies) I think they've always been there.

Cheers

The 2nd edition maps for the board game were finished a long time ago. We didn't have to wait for the 2nd edition game to be released before getting copies of them.

The guy who did the artwork for those maps, Patrick Ward, also did the scenery artwork for the computer (for the 3D maps).

Now if we could jsut get the 2nd ed. units for AtB.
I know it's a dead horse at the moment, just could not pass up the chance to give it a little kick on the way by.
