Hello everyone - just been randomly searching for a game to add to the Xmas list and have come across this one. At first glance it seems really interesting!! My gaming history is quite diverse, driving sims, FPS's, WW2 strategy games - Close Combat 2 and 3 and the game currently residing on my HD is IL2 Sturmovik (Flight Sim). But I've never come across a game quite like Combat Mission. I have always had an avid interest in WW2, particularly on the western front - in fact 2 out of our last 3 holidays have been spent in the Normandy region of France very close to the Landing Beaches themselves (all by coincedence). So I guess my first question would be is how would you describe CMBO - is it like a 3d version of the Close Combat series and do you think I would enjoy it given the above info ? Also would you recommend going for this version or the newer version Barbarossa to Berlin ? How historically accurate is it and at what stage of Overlord does the sim begin ?
I'm sure I shall have many more (stupid ?) questions to come but will endeavour to search other threads for answers. Looking forward to reading your responses.
