User Rating: 9.8 | Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin PC
Simply the very best combat strategy game I have ever played in my entire life. The Combat Mission games are WWII tactical combat strategy games that combine the best of turn-based and real-time elements. It offers a nice selection of scenarios but I think the random battle generator is the shining point. The random battle generator allows each side to spend a number of points to build and customize the army they want. You then deploy your units and issue orders to each. When done, the turn begins and you watch the battle unfold until the next turn where you repeat. This game offers limitless strategies and endless gameplay as each battle is completely diffrent. The damage and weapon penetration engine is simply fantastic. The only down sides were that I would have like to have seen all the units from the first Combat Mission included and the AI is slightly lacking but not that bad. Also the infantry models are amature looking (where as the other equipment such as tanks are remarkable). In any case, one of the best games I have ever played. If you like combat strategy games, then definately buy this game.
