    Default Major Update on Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    This is no FPS - but a 1:1 detailed battle simulator from Company to approx. Battalion level in the WWII ETO.

    Here is a link to the announcement:

    Combat Mission - Battle for Normandy (CM:BN) faithfully recreates the experience of tactical land warfare in Western France during World War Two. Using the unique Turn-Based (WeGo)/Real-Time hybrid game system (new to CM? Click here for more info to learn what makes it unique and different from mainstream RTS games) of our proprietary CMx2 battle engine, the first installment in this new series covers the three months after the Allied D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944, from Operation Overlord in June through the Cobra Breakout in August.

    Here are links to a beta build AAR - well more like a "D"uring Action Report or DAR:

    Been waiting for this one for a long time and thought that I would share.

    They have done a lot to correct the premature and buggy release of Combat Mission Shock Force and has turned that into a gem. Going back to WW2 with this engine can only be good. So I'm looking forward to this one.

    Wait, so is Combat Mission Strike Force any good? It looks ok, but everyone says that its really buggy.

    It was buggy to begin with and I stayed away from it until last Autumn when I bought it and the expansions that came with. I thought it was quite good even though I don't have any love for modern warfare.

    edit: They should have an updated demo so try it out

    Will do, thanks for the tip. I was looking for a good modern warfare sim and I think this might be it.
