GoblinToe Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Hi, all. I bought Combat Mission and thoroughly enjoyed it. I passed on CM:BB because I wasn't interested in the eastern front, plus it didn't seem to add anything new to the series. Mostly, I was disappointed that the campaign system was still stale like the original. Quick battles are great, but after about 1000 QB's in the original CM, I tired of the AI, and lack of depth. I'm not interested in multiplayer, either, due to time restraints, so CM:BB just didn't add anything new for me personally. Now I see Afrika Korps is hitting the shelves, and I was wondering if the game had finally delivered a dynamic campaign system? I'm definitely interested in WWII in Africa, but if the game still has the old campaign system, then I'll probably pass. To me, Combat Mission definitely has the best tactical level simulation of WWII combat, but bringing the game to a new level and adding some strategic planning in a campaign is long overdue. I certainly hope this has been added by now, since I haven't been following the CM series for awhile, so I'm unfamiliar with the changes. Combat Mission Operation Overlord was worth every penny I spent on it, I might add. I hope CM:AK brings something new to the table, because I'll be more than willing to buy it if so. Thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I do wish you could have QB Operations, rather than just single battles. That would add a whole new dimension to QB's. I don't think it will happen until the engine re-write, if at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Try PBEM, it gets around any multiplayer time constraints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoblinToe Posted December 7, 2003 Author Share Posted December 7, 2003 So, I take it there is no dynamic campaign then? I just checked the features page at Battlefront for CM:AK and nothing new is listed, really. Multi-turreted vehicles and dust clouds? Oh, boy, where do I sign up?! Heh. They actually list dust clouds as a new feature? lol. I'll probably pass on Afrika Korps then, and hold out for Combat Mission 2, if that's even planned. Thanks for the input, guys. Have fun! I hope all the Combat Mission fans here enjoy the new game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Originally posted by GoblinToe: So, I take it there is no dynamic campaign then? Errrr, what campaign? There's never been a campaign function in the entire CM series. btw, you are really missing out in an excellent game by giving CMAK a miss (or CMBB for that matter). Your loss I guess. *shrug* Mace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Speedy said, play PBEM's to get around time restraints. Oh well, guess you'll miss out. But you are right about there not being any substantial changes. Gonna have to wait for the big ole engine rewrite for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
