Description
Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin is the follow up to the ground breaking game Combat Mission Beyond Overlord.  With Barbarossa to Berlin we move to the Eastern Front. Watch as your T34s roll across the steppes of Central Russia or fight your way building to building in the Battle of Stalingrad. It simulates battles on the Eastern Front from German invasion of Russia with Operation Barbarossa in June of 1941 until the final days of the war in Berlin May 1945. Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin allows the player to lead the soldiers of seven nationalities (German, Soviet, Finnish, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian and Polish) into battle, using historical Tables of Equipment and Organization (TO&E), surroundings, and combat results.

Combat is simulated in turns using science and behavioral logic, not “gamey” conventions such as hit points, armor ratings, tables of resolution, or other overly simplistic concepts.  The pioneering “WeGo” 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.  The resulting 60 second replayable “movie” can be viewed from any angle and perspective before moving onto the next turn.
Play stand alone battles, connected battles, or “Quick Battles” created on-the-fly.  The full featured Editor allows you to create your own battles.  A large amount of community generated battles and Mods are available for free download.  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’t 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.

Endless replayability

With lots of options for force mixes, terrain and battle types, timeframes and so on including randomizable options gives infinite replayability. Great mix of turn-based for giving commands and then seeing it play out across the battle real-time. This series stands the test of time, still playing and loving it many years later.

Runs fine on Windows 10

First, I have this game and the other two Combat Mission 1 games running fine on a Windows 10 machine....No issues at all. These games revolutionized wargaming in my opinion. The original combat mission actually started life as "computer" Squad Leader, but was dropped as Avalon Hill was having business problems. The developers luckily continued work and released it anyway. This game was the second game released. I think my favorite aspect of the game is the robust scenario editor and battle generator. Makes the game infinitely replayable. At the writing of this review (1-4-2025), I am still playing this game over 20 years later. I'm glad GOG has kept these titles alive.

Old school goodness!

Brings back great memories of morning coffee and a quick battle! Just as fun today as it was 20 years ago!
