I recently played a 3 player game of Conflict of Heroes: Price of Honour - Poland 1939. The scenario was Firefight 11: Race for Lwow.
What is unique about this scenario over the other multiplayer scenarios in Conflict of Heroes is that each player has their own objectives and can/will fight both of the other players.
The Russians have control of the 5 hills next to a city and the the Germans and Poles are to take them. The Russians are accumulating victory points for every hill they control at the end of the turn, they also get points for eliminating enemy units. So that means the German and Polish players cannot waste a bunch of time, else the Russian will have lots or points from the hills. The German players gets points from capturing hills and eliminating enemy units. The Polish player can only win of he has 3 hills at the end of 5 turns.
Our game started with the Germans moving towards the 3 hills directly in front of him. The Poles went towards the 2 hill directly in from of him. The Germans started off with a slow advance with the left flank getting bogged down in the marsh. The Russian waited and took shots when appropriate. In turn 2 the Russians started taking a beating against both sides, losing most of the original troops in the Polish sector. The Russian reinforcements were definitely needed.
Unfortunately we had to stop playing before the end of the game as (real) time was running out. It looked like the Poles would take 2 hills but would be defending them from the Russians while trying to take his 3rd hill (at the marsh) from the Germans. Germans would gain 3 hills quickly enough, but would have to deal with the Russian reinforcements in the process.
I would give this scenario another try. I like that one of the sides can win just by having the objectives at the end of the game. This makes other two, whom were busy with each other and might have a bunch of victory points, pay attention to the third one if he has his objectives.
