Combat Infantry: WestFront 1944-45

About this board game

Combat Infantry: WestFront 1944-45 is a two-player World War II tactical game for approximately 240 minutes, placing players in command of German or American infantry battalions.

Previously known as K.I.S.S. and Courage, the game uses wooden blocks to represent units and delivers fast-paced tactical action. Its rules aim for a high level of tactical realism while remaining very playable.

Each battalion is composed of three infantry companies and a heavy weapons company. Rather than relying on cards, Combat Infantry uses company and platoon leaders to activate units, making leadership a central part of battlefield operations.

• Leaders
• Rifle squads
• Machine guns
• Mortars
• Anti-tank units
• Tanks

The game features interactive rules for fire combat, close combat, morale, and leaders. These systems support tactical decision-making as players direct infantry and heavy weapons across the battlefield.

Four geomorphic maps are included, with each hex representing 100 meters. Extra maps are available for separate purchase, providing additional terrain for the system.

Combat Infantry: WestFront 1944-45 was released in 2017. Future expansion sets are planned to introduce British, Soviet, Italian, and Japanese battalions, extending the game’s World War II national roster beyond its German and American forces.
