[Combat Mission is so addictive!]

As a new player when did Combat Mission Vets here first dip their toes in PBEM?

I played the Lanzerath ridge combat mission on FB last night and won as the attacker (BASIC TRAINING MODE :))

I watched the Germans as the AI when I played as assault over an open field. When I played as Germans I spread my forces out and wore down the US, just some common sense.

Although, I would rather not get my rear kicked non-stop by Human players until I get a decent level of competency!

Nah, CM is a computer only game. I use my PS5 for other games. 

I have not touched my PS5 in weeks, I always gravitate back to tactical/hex-based wargames. That seems to be my default setting.

I have my PS5 that I enjoy but I always end up coming back to Combat Mission. 

Is a console version of combat mission coming out?

I have been playing Tiny/Small Maps in real time.

Is WEGO a must for larger maps and campaigns once I get better at the game?

Here is my before and after attempt at re-shading after I installed all-in-one mod.

Fiddly but worth it, I think.

In fact, I remember taking a secret trip / vacation when I first got CM (2014/15 for me) and locking myself in a hotel room for eight days just so that I play it constantly and scratch that overwhelming itch. It was bliss! Hope it's that for you as well.

I wish I discovered CM during COVID Lockdown when I was "Working" from home!

Hi All, 

First post here, I'm a 44-year gamer who plays a bit of everything but my main interest is anything WW2. I've been playing Gary Grigbsy War in the East, Steel Division, Panzer Corp, Hell Let Loose, and pretty much anything related to WW2.

Took me until 2 weeks ago to actually hear about Combat Mission (probably did but never took note). I took the plunge and picked up Battle for Normandy and have already clocked up 120 hours and barely seemed to have scratched the surface. 

I am so amazed at how low profile this game is considering how addictive and rewarding it appears. I am already installing mods and now pay little interest in graphics, UI, and presentation. It really takes me back to a golden age when you actually bought a good game, book, or film and indulged yourself in it, and keep going back to it!
