I would recommend CMBB / CMAK over the newer CMBN etc every day of the week and twice on Sunday. CMBB/CMAK graphics are not as nice and they are dead games with no further support from the company, but they are still much more enjoyable in my opinion. They are the perfect bridge between a game and a simulation. There is more than enough realism to satisfy armor enthusiasts, there is a great variety of vehicles and infantry, a simple map-making tool and scenario builder, and there are numerous mods on the internet for virtually every unit in the game as well as map mods. Their orders menus are simple and easy to understand and work perfectly. CMBN and CMRT have been nothing but heartburn for me and I have stopped playing them altogether. Visually they are brilliant, but the game engine and the clunky orders menu are too much hassle. I have also pulled out what little hair I have remaining over the incomprehensible spotting system in the game. Time after time my stationary un-buttoned tank hiding behind a hedge is blown up by an enemy who was advancing, saw me first, and fired, all without me ever seeing him. Too many similar examples to list. No bueno.
