Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord

Rating:
Summary: Sub-Par
Review: This game is by far the best WWII tactical wargame on the market, except perhaps the other Combat Mission games. The graphics are highly customizable with mods off the net and there are some really good ones out there that make the game look fantastic. It plays even better - you use REAL tactics. Interface is easy to use. Everything in the game in extremely well researched, from hit probabilities and armor thickness of tanks to unit types to how the tactical AI reacts to getting shot at.

Review: This game is no longer state of the art and I doubt it ever was. Graphics are disappointing and the missions tend to be biased. The whole concept of issuing orders and then waiting for sixty seconds to see how they turn out is unrealistic. Even in the 40ies troups were equipped with radio that made battle more agile and modern warfare possible.
