While I preferred the Combat Mission CMX 1 series for many years (until late last year, really. 10 years with Combat Mission, wow!) I really hate to say it, but that engine is officially dated, for me. I consider this a "CMX 1 version 2.". Buying it Monday and I preordered CMBN months ago. Fun vacay coming up!

thx, wasn't sure i this was from Slitherian or something else.

Sorry, watching Gulliver's Travel with the family

Looks to be a nice game! Honestly I did not like Winterstorm. It was too much like Combat Mission, but at that time Combat Mission looked better, and I was really comfortable with the controls of the CM series, and it had alot more content than Winterstorm. Winterstorm struck me back then as a "Chinese Clone" of CMBB. But Ostfront, from the demo, seems like a high quality game, with a excellent attention to detail. The graphics, while not as detailed as the new CMBN, or Kharkhov '43, are extremely clean and well done. Nice demo, can't wait for the release!

so hows the gameplay with it...simular and as detailed in accuracy as the original CM series... haven't had time to download yet.

thx for the news BTW.

Just from judging the demo, and reading all the info about it on the web, I would rate this, like I said, a "Combat Misson: Barborossa to Berlin 2.0." Seems like it's going to be a solid release for the genre. I don't think it's any match for the CMX2 engine, but solid nonetheless.

I was at work earlier. I should have added that those of us used to playing CM, the view controls might rake some getting used to, as well as the combat system.

I like it... and seems to have alot of content coming in the full release... bad timing thou with CMBN coming anyday... but I'll support a smaller team like this.

thanks for the links!

I have heard good things about PC series. I, too have CM:B4N preordered and I will buy the PCO game when it is released.

It looks like the CM:B4N demo did not make it out last week.
hopefully this week?
