Hi,

I used to play CM1 a lot by the past. And i loved it. Of course, i bought all CMBN packs and bundles. I played it, i stopped play it, i played it again and i definitely can't love it. None CMBN games i played gave to myself so much enjoyment as a CM1 game. I think in a "strategic" and "realistic" way.

I agree with Jobu88 and Weasel for all reasons they give. Furthermore, many other problems occur.

- Terrain painted on the map does not give concealment and protection as it really should do : as an exemple, woods do not protect soldiers and when they're in it, even a buttoned tank can spot them easily -> not realistic
- Playing with infantry is not so fun as it is in CM1 because of it's strong lethality.
- Buildings don't protect infantry as they should do. One tank's shot is enough to kill or wound 6 or 7 soldiers hidden in a building made with bricks ! where is the pleasure to play with this decimated squad then ?
- Time is also a problem. A single game can take hours to complete between setup phase, loading sequence, micromanagement of all units. For big games, it becomes a chore to play. Nothing of that with CM1

As a conclusion, i think CMBN is a beautifull modern game, with great graphics, optimized for a new and a larger public than CM1 series. A public which don't care if real strategy, accuracy and realism are not the essential point.
A public which likes great graphics, great explosions and seeing bullets and shell's trajectories.

My 2 cents.
