This game is pretty good. More like a simulation than a game. There is a lot of depth to sink your teeth into, and you can even make your own levels. Scenarios and campaigns; if I had a friend I would play multiplayer. Graphics lag behind modern day but if that's something that bothers you then this game isn't for you. One day I want to own a real AKM. This game is so good they made it in real life

Slitherine just purchased Battlefront Games and the Combat Mission franchise. A rare case in the modern world where a publisher purchasing a developer is unequivocally a good thing. Slitherine has already done amazing things in the last few years as a publisher, such as finally persuading the geriatrics at Battlefront to put their game on Steam and allow their 10+ year old games (that look and play like 20+ year old games) to go on sale. This is a recommended, but really please only buy the game on sale, it ain't worth it otherwise. Anyways, with the purchase by Slitherine I am extremely hopeful for the future of the franchise, and I really hope that Slitherine is able to bring out the amazing potential that I and many others see in this franchise. If they were to modernize the engine with a usable user interface, less atrocious graphics, and (a bit of a pipe dream, but a man can hope) maybe even some sort of co-op mode for the campaigns, then the games would actually become well worth a $60 price tag, as well as attracting a bunch more players. Dwarf Fortress pretty recently showed how successful a super niche game can become if just made actually accessible to the more average player. My hopes really are high for this series going forwards, don't let me down Slitherine.

I mostly play this using the PBEM++ turn based multiplayer these days, but the direct PVP works well too for us. Definitely enjoy it more playing another human and recommend it highly as a fair substitute for those who also like analog hex and counter war games. The older graphics and UX are serviceable, and quickly forgotten during the heat of the moment. The only (minor) complaint I have is missing more modern camera control and being able to more easily adjust views without bumping in to hard view-port restrictions (e.g. backing up to see a side of the map).

Very fun, hoping for new update for what ukraine and russia is using now and bring in the russian airbonre VDV

I have not had many of the graphics or gameplay issues that others complain about, my experience both with the base game and modding has been incredibly positive. This is an anomaly of a game because it takes place in a what if 2017, where Ukraine was severely on the backfoot, and the game reflects that desperation. You have solid near pear combat up to battalion level. The variety of units and equipment is fantastic, and you have a lot of leeway to fight how you want to. A serious complaint is that the game being close to the real war has lead the company to delay or shelve all DLC, feeling it would be negative press. I disagree with this decision as I would pay for DLC so maybe the community will rally. Otherwise there is enough content and fun to be had.
