Hey, I'm pretty new to Combat mission. I got the demo and am ordering the full game as soon as I got some money in the checking account. But in the game I used to play(myth2). The community would set up hotline servers as places to gather. With hotline I could set up a CMBO server where you could connect with the hotline client. I'd host files(mods,battles,operations) and it would be extremely easy and quick to set up games since the client also has chat. I'm not sure how fast my server is(DSL) but I'd like to give it a try if any others of this community would be interested.
Hotline is free to download at http://www.bigredh.com
