I'm Sergio, from Spain, and I'm a great big fan of "Combat Mission". The main reason I got CB is because I'm a Squad Leader fan (though I don't play it now since a couple years ago), and I've found that CB is very
similar to the classic Avalon Hill's game (together "Steel Panthers", the other great WWII tactical game). Also, I must recognize that I'm an addict of CB (it's my fave game), and I'm still dicovering many things about it everytime I play.
I have some comments and suggerences about CB, in order to be improved in a
future next updating (NOTE: I've posted this here because I don't know where's the section where it might fit; I don't know if I'm wrong to post it here; in that case, I'm sorry):
1) I miss the motorcycles (i.e., the classic BMW with sidecar and a MG 42)and the bikes (for this example, see the classic Squad Leader's Crescendo of Doom).
2) I've found out that the abandoned arms of the enemy can't be used. In Squad Leader, this can be possible under some conditions (see SL rules 13.5, 41.2, and 50.4).
3) Why can't the vehicles crews use their abandoned vehicles again, if those ones aren't damaged?
4) Can the bridges and similar be destroyed by engineers squads?
5) I also miss the trenchs (NOT the foxholes).
6) When one of your own army is captured and liberated soon after, he's
unarmed. Can he be armed again?
7) Can the units become "berserk"?
8) Can the units get promotions on the very battlefield?
9) I'd like that the final report more detailed.
And now a question about the future of CB: will new expansions or updatings
for the game? For instance, the Eastern Front, the Africa Campaign, Europe
(pre-Overlord), and Asia (Japan, Birmania, etc.) I think that would be
great!
Nothing more for this moment. I'd like to hear your comments about the

things I've exposed above, if you can.
