  An After Action Report (AAR) from a PBEM (Play By Electronic Mail) game as posted on the Battlefront.com forum.

  Lots of screenies. :)
Note: the game is still in development. Backtrack to the main CMBN forum to see lots more as
it undergoes construction. Enjoy, lads!

  Yeah, it surely do. :)
  Two of its predecessors, Combat Mission Beyond Overlord and Combat Mission Beyond Barbarossa came
with 200 page manuals which outlined not only the game mechanics but the employment of all the various
tactical units. I'm hoping this new one comes with a hard copy manual as well. I always feel screwed when
I lay out decent money for a game only to find it's got a Nintendo-esque style "quick play" booklet and
the actual manual is in .PDF format on the CD/DVD.
  If guys are into WW2 tactical combat games, this is definitely the series they should look into.

Thanks for point this out Oddball. I loved CM:BO and played it daily years ago, even making some personal campaigns to play with. I really look forward to this new version.
