Any Combat Mission players here?

When you tried the game tell us what you think about it. I guess it is not a game for everyone, because it is much more complex than the usual RTS games and it takes some time to get into it, if you are new to the CM series.

The system requirements really aren't too bad.System Requirements SUGGESTED:
Operating System: Windows XP/Vista/Win7
Processor: Pentium IV 2.8 GHz or equivalent speed AMD processor or better
Video Card: GeForce 6800 or Radeon x850 (256 Megabyte VRAM or better and must support 1024x768 or higher resolution) in OpenGL
Sound Card: DirectX 9 compatible Sound Card
System Memory: 1 Gigabyte or more RAM
Hard Drive Space: 4 Gigabyte
Other Requirements: CD Drive (not needed for download version, but recommended for backup)
The game does not work in a virtualized environment (virtual machine)
One of the neat/odd things about CM was that it was originally (and still) programmed on Apple computers. There aren't many games for OSX, but this one is great no matter what platform is running it.
There's even a version of Combat Mission for the iPad now.

This is a very good point. I would describe CM as a WWII land combat simulator rather than a WWI land combat game. You can't win very often without using proper tactics! Tank vs. tank battles are often "first shot hits, wins". I remember tanks being described in the forums long ago as "hammers with eggshells". Arty can be absolutely devastating as well (if used properly). -
Playing the Normandy version at present. Its like a tabletop battle come to life, utterly entrancing.

It reminds me of playing with plastic toy soldiers as a child, maybe that's why I like it so much.

Exactly - the old HO00 or 1/72 scale, that must be why I love this so much. It is very instructive too. Anyway, now that I have Battle for Normandy, just as it is in your first post on this thread, my next question is - tell me more about your CM skins and have you made them available anywhere?

All I have done are a few skinning experiments, but the results were very disappointing, because there are no template files for CM and I am not good enough to create templates on my own.
The terrain and Panther tank textures in the last two screenshots I posted above are by Aris (Aristoteles), who is one of the most talented guys in the CM community. His work can be found in the download section of the Battlefront site:
