A question I always asked myself. Should I recommend Combat Mission to X-Com players? The scale of the combat is one level up and there is no managment bit other that picking your forces for a quick battle but I always found the pace and basic idea of combat somewhat similar. So fess up, who else here plays combat mission? (or wants to do so after playing one of the demos at http://www.battlefront.com ) <hint, hint> I for one rate Combat Mission on a par with X-Com.
