What is with the propoganda at BF???

Well, I think you're right that there are/were a lot of people for whom CM meant playing gamey QBs where they bought units on crappy maps, resulting in very unrealistic battles. I never liked to play that way.

BFC apparently is trying to move CM into more realistic territory by removing the gamiest aspects of the QB, the unit point system, and replacing it with purely random force selections on premade maps.

Was it a mistake for BFC to alienate the QB crowd for whom CM meant point purchase games? Perhaps. Maybe they should cater to players who want to play very unrealistic games.

But it is still Combat Mission. It's still a tactical WEGO game where you command squads and vehicles. Let's throttle back the hyperbole just a little.
