I felt like I was playing Company of Heroes II and/or Theater of War expansion IV. It's hardly the Combat Mission we've come to grow to love. It's kiddy clickfest time with this one. Well at least in the RT aspect of the game which I do believe is their main selling point to hit the mainstream romper room age of buyers.
No more firing lines to our targets? Why? You end up playing blind mans bluff in this thing. Your units will be eliminated and you won't ever know why. Why? Your units are hardly accurate but the AI has radar sites on their Anti-tank guns and seek missles for ammo?
No sorry I can't muster this version of Combat Mission. In a nutshell keep your money or go take a look at Panzer Command:Osfront from Matrixgames now this game is more realistic and fun to play and has all the UI features you'll enjoy.
