I have been hearing this talk of Combat Mission 2. So how long has CM been out and when will they make a CM2? The reason I am asking this question is that I haven't yet bought CM. So I was wondering whether or not to wait for the much improved sequel or buy the original right now.

Don't get me wrong. I love both games. But is there a rivalry? Because the fellas over at the ClubSSI forums really don't seem to like this game, or you guys (well, that's my opinion). What do you, loyal CM gamers, think about CC?
