Combat Mission II: Barbarossa to Berlin is a turn-based computer game about tactical battles in World War II. It is part of the Combat Mission series. The game has been described as the "reigning champ of east front tactical warfare for the PC." [1]
Features
Barbarossa to Berlin is both a complement to the earlier Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord, in that it presented a different theatre of war, as well as a sequel, by way of improving game features and adding new ones. The playable nations are: Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Romania (pre- and post- defection), Hungary, Finland, Poland (under Soviet command) and Italy.
In order to conform to German law, depictions of the swastika were removed. Additionally, all Waffen SS units were renamed "Waffen Grenadier".
Demo
A playable public demo is offered by Battlefront.com. The demo did not include access to the mission editor, but did permit solo, hotseat, email or TCP/IP play of two pre-made scenarios.
Alternate titles
The game was originally released as Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin; it was known in Europe as Combat Mission 2.
A Special Edition, known as Combat Mission II: Barbarossa to Berlin (Special Edition) was released with a "bonus disc" which included graphic mods and additional scenarios collected from designers within the CM community.
