What is Combat Mission?
Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord is a tactical WWII combat simulation set in a full 3D environment. Players issue orders in turns and then see the action executed in real-time. It simulates battles in northwestern Europe immediately following the Allied “D-Day” invasion of Normandy in June of 1944, also known as Operation Overlord, through to the end if the war in May 1945. Combat Mission allows the player to lead the soldiers of six nationalities (U.S., British, Canadian, Polish, French, and German) into battle using historical Tables of Equipment and Organization (TO&E), surroundings, and combat results. Combat Mission is not a video game. It requires thoughtful strategy and tactical skill to overcome the enemy while preserving ones own forces and achieving the mission objectives.
