The Company of Heroes Board Game is a beautiful port of one of the greatest WW2 strategy games of all time. This board game incorporates all of the mechanics, tactics and fun of the video games into a stream-lined, accessible board game experience you can play on your kitchen or gaming table.
The most game-changing mini pack, now with the Elite Infantry Add-on with Elite Infantry Dice plus the standard STUG Assault pack contents.
The STUG Assault Pack brings reinforcements to all factions with the death-dealing STUG III Assault Gun and new Elite Infantry Commanders for Allied factions.
This pack also features unique Elite Infantry Dice to track the advanced infantry upgrades found in this pack. We have selected our favorite Allied Commanders from the postponed Elite Infantry Pack and are adding them to the STUG Assault Pack (which previously was all Wehrmacht and OKW Commanders). This helps flush out and balance the STUG Assault Pack, helps the other factions utilize the Elite Infantry Dice that are included in the STUG pack, and most importantly introduces some of our favorite elite troops. The Elite Infantry dice mark some advanced mechanics not found in the rest of the game system like Close Range Fire Power, adding variable damage amounts depending on range (this is an advanced mechanic that helps capture the variable effective range of units found in the video games). Other elite abilities represented by this dice set are Heroic Sacrifice, which is a strategic ability that denies the enemy victory points if the squad is destroyed, an increased squad size upgrade, sniper ability sets, as well as a couple utility symbols to clarify veteran upgrade paths.
The StuG III in the Company of Heroes Board Game is a doctrinal unit called in by special commanders contained in this pack. These Commanders are interchangeable between the OKW and the Wehrmacht and focus on producing multiple StuGs at a time.
