Combat Mission Beyond Overlord (CMBO) is the first of the award winning and\u00a0 ground breaking Combat Mission game series.\u00a0 It recreates battles in Northwestern Europe from the June 6th 1944 Allied “D-Day” invasion of Normandy through the end of the war in May 1945. Combat Mission allows players to lead historically accurate forces from six nationalities (U.S., British, Canadian, Polish, French, and German) into battle on widely varied terrain in all weather and lighting conditions. Combat is simulated in turns using science and behavioral logic, not \u201cgamey\u201d conventions such as hit points, armor ratings, tables of resolution, or other overly simplistic concepts.\u00a0 The pioneering \u201cWeGo\u201d gameplay system helps avoid many of the realism problems of other games by requiring both players to submit their orders and having them carried out simultaneously.\u00a0 The resulting 60 second replayable \u201cmovie\u201d can be viewed from any angle and perspective before moving onto the next turn. Play stand alone battles, connected battles, or \u201cQuick Battles\u201d created on-the-fly.\u00a0 The full featured Editor allows you to create your own battles.\u00a0 A large amount of community generated battles and Mods are available for free download.\u00a0 In addition to the very challenging single player mode, two people can play on one computer, TCP\/IP network connection, or via PBEM. Apply common sense and intuition and don\u2019t expect “gamey” tactics to work – no matter how successful they were in other games. You will be forced to plan ahead, use timing, suppression fire, feints and flanking attacks to survive, let alone to win. When planning your moves, think about what would work in the real world, not what would work in other games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
