This has been one of the best tactical games I've ever played2 found this helpful
This game is utterly amazing. The stories that this wargame unfolds are beautiful. Its a triumph of gameplay over graphics.. I play against AI and now my adult son - who is now hooked. Back in the day I played a lot of Email games. I personally prefer them to the newer games - it takes me right back to Squad Leader and ASL board games. If you want to see some of the stories look at some of Tim Stone's after action reports - they are hilarious and so well written. The game is updated slightly graphically, it has been improved with some QOL enhancements too. I haven't yet checked to see if my gigs of mods on cds and DVDs will work - but they probably will. please read the manual. It is probably up there in my favourite games of all time and If I could only ever play 3 games for the rest of my life it would be this, 1) CMBO (This) 2) modded Il2 1946 and 3) Skyrim!
Amazing game. Unlike Combat Mission 2, the AI here posses a challenge, it does not merely follows a pre-set plan. This makes it far more fun and engaging. The mechanic where your units can mistaken a tank for another tank is very interesting - makes you unsure what to do. However, sadly, I can no longer play this as Proton doesn't work on this game... yet.
Especially like creating quick, simple 300 point games.
This is a really well balanced game that realistically re-enacts historical battles as well as hypothetical ones.
This game has a unique turn based system that is ideal for strategizers. It is an "I go, you go, we go" system that is fairly unique for systems. It is very true to real world physics. The graphics for the classic games are pretty basic, but it's not really about the graphics.
