Heroes System is fantastic, and is a lot of fun. The rulebook that comes with Stalingrad is vastly superior to the original games rulebook. Organization is key for playing Heroes. There are tons of pieces and bits, but you use relatively few in a scenario. I struggled with the original game & rules for a long time. However, the rule book that comes with Stalingrad and Big Red One edition is terrific. Heroes is now easily in my top five favorite games. Fun, quick to play, and great for new people to war gaming. However...set up is not quick and can take a long time if the many game bits aren't organized in an efficient manner. So much so, that the company started selling "storage" and "organization" boxes. Before that happened though, I started using generic jewelry necklace gift boxes to organize the units, which amounted to the same thing. There are many bits that are specific to certain units, and it's important to keep them together, or you'll spend more time setting up the game than it will take to play it!

I look forward to playing! Thanks!
