Disposable Heroes and Coffin for Seven Brothers (DH&C7B), a complete WWII skirmish war game system featuring both infantry and vehicles. The game is fast, easy to learn, and gives realistic tactical results without getting bogged down in record keeping or chart reading.

The game is as intuitive as possible without being simplistic and will definitely reward good tactics.

Fire and movement are important and easy to recreate. The main features include an initiative system, alternating unit activation, realistic weapon and cover usage, a dynamic morale system for infantry and vehicles, as well as a target acquisition system to make vehicles more realistic. Vehicles feature historically accurate armour values (with angles of deflection and thickness) and accurate gun penetration while still maintaining playability and balance. The two systems play well together in combined arms games.

Disposable Heroes and Coffin for Seven Brothers is versatile enough to play anywhere from platoon sized engagements up to full Battalion level games in 1:1 scale. A typical platoon sized game can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, while we have completed Battalion sized games in under 4 hours! Our system is perfect for running those convention games and keeps all players actively involved throughout the game. No more bored players waiting for their turn. No steep learning curve.

The basic manoeuvre element is a half squad or support unit and single vehicle. You can play infantry only, mix in vehicles, or even play all armour battles in 15mm, 20mm, and 25/28mm with ease. The game minimizes counters and is virtually chartless for infantry. No charts are used to determine a combat result, though some are used to provide organized information. Spend more time playing and less time looking things up! The only dice needed are several ten sided dice. The main rulebook includes all the rules needed to play and covers infantry, vehicles, artillery, air support, paratrooper drops, mines, smoke, and weather. Also included are two army lists (German and American late war) with historically accurate Tables of Organization & Equipment and three easy to use generic skirmish scenarios to get players started right away. The army lists provided contain easy to use unit ID cards and include a built in points system for players who wish to use historically accurate forces while playing a balanced game. Everything you need to use a unit in the game is on the ID card.

Iron Ivan Games have released a number of army books for each of the major combatants and several theatre and campaign books. Full support as well as much more information is available through their website www.ironivangames.com. It includes contact information, free "extras", painting guides, more scenarios, special rules, and army lists.

DH&C7B is played occasionally on Friday nights at the club by a number of casual players using 25/28mm and 15mm figures and models.
