Tangogulf Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hi all; I have recently been drawn back to this company after a long hiatus. My first and only game that I played was the original CMBO. Fast forward to today and I downloaded a couple of demos and was once again enamored by the game play. My question is: where is the best place to start? I'm looking for recommendations on both game and expansions that meet my below requirements. Here is what Im looking for: Looking for WW2 genre. Would like the latest version of the game engine. ( I believe it is currently at version 3.0) Conducive to both tank and infantry. Utilizes the latest artillery and airstrike capabilities of the software. (I have no clue what these might be) Is not the normandy campaign. Had my fill of Bocage and the saturated green look in the trees in the original CBMO. Can include any nationalities. Perhaps encompasses a time when both allies and axis were strong ( I dont wish to deal with ammunition or material shortages in the campaign) Thanks for any and all help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is closed Good selection for your criteria. Truth be told, CMBN, CMFI, CMRT, and CMFB are an embarrassment of riches; picking just one is a surprisingly difficult choice. So many games, so little time . . . Edited August 31, 2016 by Badger73 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangogulf Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thank you for your feedback Badger. Indeed, the issue now is finding the time. There is just so much to these games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just so much to these games. Since you decided for CMFI already and time is an issue, you may want to have a look at Heirllom Tomatos package of 16 tiny scenarios. You find them in the "scenario depot" at the "The few good men" website. 16 scenarios with platoon sized forces on tiny maps. Each 30minutes long, so the playing time is perhaps 45 minutes each. I played a few and found them not too difficult, but not too simple either. They would probaly be a good starting point to get into the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
