How it Plays
I have two of these games on disk. This one and Barbarossa to Berlin. Units are squads, individual tanks, and guns. You can play a single battle or a complete operation (3-5 related battles). For each battle or operation you are assigned a specific group of units. During a deployment phase before the battle you can put you units anywhere in a specific zone on the game map. Once they are deployed, you provide commands to each unit for the next minute of battle. Once you hit start, that minute of battle will play out. Tanks, guns, and squads will hide, fire, move and fire, or just move depending on the commands you provided. After 1 minute, the battle will temporarily stop and then another minute of commands will need to be given. Battles stop and either once side is eliminated, runs off the map, morale decays to the point it surrenders, or time runs out (basically representing both sides running out of ammunition). Through that minute you are watching you bazooka or panzercreck men and hoping they knock out tanks or pillboxes, watching or machine gunners stopping the enemy from overrunning a position, or watching artillery wiping out an advance or falling harmlessly in a field. I prefer Barbarossa to Berlin over Beyond Overlord because you get a better feel for how the weapons evolved and how important elimination of obsolete systems is. But they are both excellent tactical WWII games. If you do not have the time to put in to each Combat Mission game, you might try Close Combat which is simpler to play and each battle takes less time to play. However, this is the more realistic because it represents the actual battles rather than a stripped down version.
