battles & operations


Recommended Posts

In theory a battle and an operation could take place on the same piece of terrain. But in practise an operation will occur on a much larger map. A battle will show the events of half an hour to an hour of real time, an operation will show the events of one to two days. You rarely see all of an operations map during one of its battle segments, but there are some that are so large that if you manage to keep pushing forwards, after a few battles you can get lost on them.

The battles in an operation are a little different than the battles in the battle section in that if you were to play the same operation twice, the only battle that would be the same would be the first one.

This is because operations are much larger, much more fluid, and much more dynamic. The new front lines, reinforcements, and replacements tend to be based on what happened inside the larger event.

Operations are *not* composed of a string of set-piece events as in some other games. This is more realistic than that.

I don't know CMBB all that well, but it works the same as CMBO in this respect, and I can assure you that even when they cover the same material the difference in treatment and time scale is large enough for it not to matter.
