After 7 months of on & off work, the second video in my Combat Mission After Action Report series has finally arrived! Today we take a look at Combat Mission: Cold War. An alternate history 'Cold War Gone Hot' scenario in the Fulda Gap region of West Germany. More specifically, today we are covering the battle of Kriegsburg in 1979, a fictional german town sees a ragtag and badly depleted American force taking on an entire Soviet Motor Rifle Regiment. It's about to get hot!

Great showing! If I had to guess, Kriegsburg '81 is the hardest one for the Americans, T-64s are nigh-impenetrable from the front by Dragons or the American's sabots while they can one-shot your M60s from across the map. I played '81 from the Soviet side and it was quite a stomp.

I was able to beat it with using mine M48's as a mobile reserve pushed to engage Soviet tanks before they woulb be able to reach any of the objectives and designating infatry with Dragons as the last resort defense.

@@MilesStratton bah, reliability isn’t modelled so no worries there, though the poor engine power would harm its off-road potential. By 1979 Chieftain Mk5s were equipped with Thermal Optic Gunnery Sights (TOGS) together with a laser rangefinder so they could be fairly powerful for 1979/80 but probably any later they wouldn’t do too well in a front on engagement with Pact forces.

All these years they keep adding more to this old engine, publishing new titles at a premium price. …all this time they failed to look at a(n off the shelve) replacement engine like Unity or Unreal to advance this series two decades into the 2020-ies.
@MilesStratton Жыл бұрын
It's unfortunately not that simple. CM has plenty of issues there's no doubt about that. But transitioning to a new engine would not only be a huge and expensive enterprise but also would likely cause CM to lose major elements of what makes it so compelling. Also BFC owns the CMX engine completely. If they were to use another engine they would need to start paying for use of that engine. BFC charges premium prices because they will always be a niche product and their target market has few issues paying it. It's just not worth the effort or money expended.
