FRONTLINE HEROES is a miniature-agnostic asymmetric skirmish wargame set in the modern day. Players have the option to play solo, controlling one side and facing an AI system that manages the enemy, or to engage in competitive mode against a human opponent, with each player controlling one side of the conflict. Additionally, the game can be played cooperatively fighting together against the enemy controlled by the AI.
As a skirmish game, Frontline Heroes focuses on close, man-to-man confrontations, where a small asymmetricnumber of miniatures (ranging from 4 to 15 per side) are used on a tabletop with terrain pieces to represent a skirmish or a small part of a larger battle.
Modern warfare encompasses any type of small-scale confrontation or skirmish that has taken place from 1990 to the present day: Marines facing insurgents in the Iraq War, robbers battling the police during a city heist, military police clashing with cartel members in South America, SWAT teams raiding a farm controlled by an armed sect... your imagination is the limit.

SOLO vs COMPETITIVE MODE
Frontline Heroes primarily focuses on solitaire mode, although it also offers cooperative and competitive mode options.
Solitaire mode involves a single player battling against an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that controls the enemy forces and their decisions. This mode emphasizes narrative and storytelling. The AI controls wich enemy models activate, when and the actions they make. The player doesn´t have to take any decision in this process.
Additionally, cooperative mode allows two players to team up on the same side, facing an AI-controlled enemy.
Competitive mode follows the standard format of miniatures wargames, where two or more players form opposing sides and engage in direct conflict, aiming to defeat the enemy and eliminate as many opposing miniatures as possible. It is a purely competitive mode. In this game, you won't find exhaustive army lists to form different factions. Instead, the system for creating the opposing factions is completely original and fun.
NORMAL vs STEALTH MISSIONS
Frontline Heroes features a mission creation system, in which through multiple tables it will create a completely new and different scenario each time; Each mission specifying the miniatures that has each faction, equipment, possible deployments and everything needed to play a game. This system offers high replayability.
In the game we have normal missions, as in any type of miniature wargame, where two forces face off until one prevails over the other through sheer force; and we also have stealth missions, in which we must infiltrate a small group of soldiers into enemy territory to accomplish certain vital objectives, such as sabotaging supplies, capturing VIPs or blowing up installations.
Frontline Heroes features a comprehensive rules system for solo or multiplayer play, presented in a nearly 100-page book. You can find it available on the Wargamevault platform at the following link:

What does the game Frontline Heroes Modern Warfare offer?
The rules it offers are simple enough to be played solo without any problem, although simplicity does not conflict with depth, as the game, while easy to learn, is difficult to master.
The activation system is not the typical IgoYOUgo, but rather random and keeps the player constantly involved in the action.
The rules provide a combat system between a small number of miniatures (between 4 and 14 per side, although easily scalable to many more miniatures), including rules for support vehicles and even combat between them.
The system for creating gaming forces avoids the typical point-based list creation system. Frontline Heroes does not have lists, but the forces creation system will create forces that are more or less balanced, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical in terms of the number of troops or their combat capability.

It also includes a mission creation system that allows the player to simply follow the steps outlined in the rules, and through several tables, end up facing a completely detailed game scenario to play.
Finally, perhaps one of the most important aspects of this game, it includes a solo play system. Frontline Heroes is designed from the very basis as a solo game, and through different flowcharts, it replicates the behavior of a player so that the enemy behaves autonomously as a real player would.
I hope you enjoy playing it and that it serves as your guide in many battles. Remember that the enemy does not rest.
See you on the battlefield.

For those interested in Frontline Heroes Modern Warfare, I leave here the link to the game's blog where you can find links to several videos.
These videos are based on the game Frontline Heroes: Fields of Normandy (Frontline Heroes developed in a WW2 setting), although the mechanics explained are the same, as both games share the gameplay system (initiative, combat, morale, solo play mode...)
These videos explain in detail what this game is about and what you need to play, the initiative system, the combat system, the morale checks, and a complete gameplay example of how a full turn of Frontline Heroes unfolds.
I hope you can excuse my pronunciation, but English is not my native language. Likewise, the same videos are available in Spanish, in case it helpsl.
This is the link to the blog that includes all the links to the videos.

I want to share a free solo/PvP mission for Frontline Heroes Modern Warfare (although it could be played using any other modern ruleset).
The game includes a predefined map, a list of the miniatures that make up each side, deployment zones, objectives and even a small list of events, with the aim of making this mission playable even with any modern skirmish ruleset (with just a few changes).

The mission takes place in a small town near Fallujah. A group of soldiers, members of the 1st Marine Division, fall into an ambush as an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) explodes, disabling their vehicle. After dismounting the vehicle, they are attacked by a group of insurgents.
The Marines must survive the ambush, secure the perimeter, neutralize the insurgents, and hold the position until reinforcements arrive.
Good luck!
See you on the battlefield!
