RE: CMBB Dying
I still play PC occasionally, against the AI, when I'm hungry for new content.

The main difference between PC and CM is the abstraction level aka 'bean counting' which they miss. They fall in to the trap of simulating a battalion commander who supposedly only think in terms of platoons.

The ammo model of the tanks, the artillery is just plain wrong. Infantry model is oversimplified. I get the abstraction, I know what purpose it serves (and it does well) - only I don't accept it. If they want to enhance the game they will simulate more detail, bringing the game closer to CM.

Some people likes this new approach, I certainly don't. The genre established by CMx1 is not a commander simulation, it's a kind of battle chess. Omitting details only makes the game shallower without gaining much.

There's a lot more good (and bad) things about PC what I won't address in this post. I also know it's my personal preference and some likes the reduced detail in PC more. The majority - I doubt. They still here playing CM.
