I just joined the forum so I could answer this. Combat Mission is the best game I've ever played, and I've been waiting for a version to come out that was compatible again with my newer operating systems.
While it is true that you can't be all things to all people, presumably you do like to get feedback from hard core users. In my opinion, TCP/IP WeGo is the soul of the game. I haven't played it with a RealTime option, but I imagine it becomes just another game where mouse clicking skills and peripheral hardware setup means more than tactical skill.
I've been waiting for years to play Combat Mission again, and I am happy to keep waiting until I can play against my friends, online, using WeGo.
