I really loved the old Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin game way back when. Really enjoyed the hybrid turn-based/real time combat tactical approach the game took.

I am looking for something similar (hybrid turn-based/real time), but more modern. I see there are newer (post 2010) Combat mission games (Battle for Normandy, Fortress Italy). Is there other alternatives to these titles that are the same type of game? Are either of these 2 any good?

(please don't suggest COH or Men at War - I got'em - they aren't what I am looking for)

thanks for any input. Smile

Panzer Command: Kharkov (and other games in the same series).


Too bad Combat Mission turned shite after the first 3. Battlefront are the most egostic/stupid cunts ever.


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Thank you for the suggestion - looking into Panzer Command:Ostfront which is suppose to include all the content of Kharkov & Winterstorm.

What is your major gripe with the more recent Combat Mission titles? - they seem to have relatively decent reviews.

Ostfront is enough to get yes.

They kind of destroyed the U/command system etci for me and try reading battlefronts forum and how the developer and few betatesters act towards the fans. Ive never ever met such ignorant selfish bastards in my whole life.

Company of Heroes 2 then? I hear it's a historically very accurate depiction of the eastern front.

I've never tried it myself, but I've heard Hears Of Iron 3 should be pretty good.

Blitzkrieg 3's around the corner.

Hearts of Iron 4 is also coming in early 2015 I think.
