36 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
The depth of the simulation, the detailed unit soft factors, the easy to learn mapmaker/ mission editor, the mods which will craft the game the way you want it to be, the incredible community that has been behind the Combat Missions games for the past 20 years.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
8 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
I learned the incredible depth of the mechanics and systems of the game, developed an appreciation for the skill level required to command battalion level tactical operations, and the satisfaction that is gained from completing a mission with minimal casualties.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
6 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer options further elevate the experience, as human opponents introduce unpredictability and force even greater care in planning and execution.
