Looking to make the Leap!

[Kool Kat]

Gents:

I've been seriously considering joining the Combat Mission ranks!

Been watching Combat Mission replays (Youtube), reading posts here, and referencing several reviews about this game system.

Need some advice from seasoned CM players.

(1.) What Combat Mission game do you recommend to purchase and why?

(2.) Where (company / Website) can you find the "best deal" (price) for a Combat Mission game?

(3.) I am interested in PBeM. How do players handle the large files?

(4.) How "steep" is the learning curve for this game system?

(5.) Other advice?


Many thanks in advance for your replies!
