Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg Demo

Never played a Combat Mission game? Here is your chance to take your forces for a test drive into virtual combat.

From the edge of a forest, a US Sherman tank duels with two German AT guns. It was not pretty to watch my precious tank hit a couple of times with AT rounds, but my boys emerged victorious from this.

Graviteam Mius Front - Seizing a Hill with Combined Arms

What a battle! The only thing missing was air support. But nonetheless I commanded a Russian reinforced Rifle Company plus 3 tanks and artillery in an assault against a German-held hill.



CMANO - New Big Patch Coming - AIP Submarines Revamped

Command Modern Naval and Air Operations is about to be updated to version 1.11. It's a big update and release candidates are available in this forum thread.


One of the big things (at least for me :) ) is the revamp of the air independent propulsion (AIP) for submarines. In this picture, U31 (a German Type 212 equipped with AIP) during sea trials (ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems).

Combat Mission Battle for Normandy Battle Pack 1 - Low Visibility Scenario

It is night, it rains. We collide with the enemy and shoot point blank. A German tank has just escaped from our sights, right after wrecking some of my vehicles.

Grenades will not do, my men!
Random scenes from one of the scenarios of Battle Pack 1 follow. No AAR provided to avoid spoilers. Sorry about that.

DCS Mirage M-2000C - Let's Put Those Missiles to Good Use!

The Mirage M-2000C for DCS World is a beautiful bird to fly. It handles really well and has raw power for air combat maneuvering. As for getting into a simulated air to air engagement with it, the current M-2000C model has only one reliable weapons platform: the gun.

Graviteam Tactics Mius Front - How to Tow AT Guns

War gamers tend to consider AT guns as static weapons, mostly a system that is deployed at the start of an scenario and never to move too much.

On the move.

Combat Mission Battle for Normandy Battle Pack 1

And yes, Battlefront continues to occupy an special place in hour war-gaming diet, this time with an scenario pack (link here).

The quality of the maps is one of the selling points of this battle pack. It takes a lot of talent to make those locations to appear realistic.
