Well, according to BGG Shadows over Normandie is weighted at 2.33 and
Conflict of Heroes is 2.9, so your scale look s pretty accurate!Only 34
more days until wore starts back up.

Thanks, Mark.  I've heard other good things about it.  On the war games "scale" 
from simple to complex, my summary is the following:  Memoir '44, Tide of Iron, 
Heroes of Normandie, Conflict of Heroes, and the King:  Advanced Squad Leader.  
This also tends to correlate with historicity with more detailed games like CoH 
and ASL being the most historically accurate.  I did leave out Battlelore and 
many others, but this scale is useful to me, especially when thinking of people 
I could get to play with.  I think HoN is Ina middle sweet spot, maybe.

Thoughts?

Michael Barnes *loves* the Normandy series.  Interestingly, he sold off the
main game but kept the Cthulhu variant, "Shadows over Normandie"

War game query

[Anton]

Have any of you played Heroes of Normandie?  I'm wondering what people think of 
it.  I have been toying with Tide of Iron but HoN seems more accessible 
especially for those less into war games?

BTW any players out there of the 1st Ed Battlelore system?

Thanks!
