The first entry in the acclaimed Combat Mission series, Beyond Overlord is a hybrid turn-based/real-time tactical simulation which focuses on military engagements fought on the north-western European front of World War II from the days immediately following the invasion of Normandy up until the war's end in May of 1945.
I'm terrible, but its fun to lose. 10/10 would recommend.
This game is utterly amazing. The stories that this wargame unfolds are beautiful. Its a triumph of gameplay over graphics.. I play against AI and now my adult son - who is now hooked. Back in the day I played a lot of Email games. I personally prefer them to the newer games - it takes me right back to Squad Leader and ASL board games. If you want to...
Amazing game.
Unlike Combat Mission 2, the AI here posses a challenge, it does not merely follows a pre-set plan.
This makes it far more fun and engaging.
The mechanic where your units can mistaken a tank for another tank is very interesting - makes you unsure what to do.
However, sadly, I can no longer play this as Proton doesn't work on this game......
