About Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy faithfully recreates the experience of tactical land warfare in Western France during World War Two. The Base Game covers the three month period following the Allied D-Day landings, from Operation Overlord in June through the Cobra Breakout in August. The tough fight has become the stuff of legend and Combat Mission's high standards for accuracy and detail means you'll experience the fighting as realistically as can be.

Four challenging campaigns, 21 standalone scenarios, and a plethora of Quick Battle maps will test your tactical acumen. Matching the painstakingly researched battles is the highly detailed combat equipment, including 67 vehicles and dozens of various small arms and heavy weapons.

This game is completely unplayable. The optimization is so terrible that it drops to 1 or 2 fps randomly for long periods of time. It also is riddled with game breaking bugs and other issues that I can't seem to fix.1 found this helpful
This game doesn't support modern monitor resolutions out of the box; you have to edit configuration files in order to get it to use your monitor's resolution. Once you do, though, you won't be able to read any of the text because the UI doesn't scale. At all. It also lags significantly, even on a modern gaming machine. It's a pity because this seems like it would be such a fun game, but sadly the graphics issues make it essentially unplayable.1 found this helpful

awesome...
It's excellent. Ok so it runs badly, the UI is garbage, graphics are mil-sim and not pretty. However if you have a particular kind of hunger for realism and the application of real-world tactics then this game will blow others out of the water. An example I regularly cite is my (human) opponent firing 105mm shells into my midfield area and a shell's splinter clipped a squad leader 100m and that guy was the furthest guy away in that field where I had like 20 men. Almost always shells will damage as you'd expect but the engine is strong enough mechanically that odd ricochets can have real effects. This includes tank shells bouncing off armour plates and clipping poor bloody infantry. Much like other play by email games, if you can get into a multiplayer game and carry it through to the end, you'll remember it forever. One time I used a 76mm sherman and knocked out the gun of a tiger and I didn't know the gun was out so my opponent effectively had this asset I feared in this nice fog of war effect. How is this different to other Combat Mission games? This one is set in hedgerow country so it's very much hopping to each one in turn and clearing them systematically with the odd…
love it
