Combat Mission, while can be played it realtime, I think most play in turns, so I dont think it compares. Great game that too, just their business model and dev team are bunch of idiots.
TL  R: Get Graviteams games if you want realtime SP action, get CC if you want realtime MP, for the rest there's Combat Mission (bring your wallet). |
The Eastern Front was way too large.
Well, most tactical wargames are turn based, and GT:OS definitely is more similar to Combat Mission than the "RTS" genre. Also, Graviteam has said they have no intentions of doing the Western Front,which I support as their scenarios are pretty much the only way you can learn about some of the actions they cover without learning Russian/getting access to the state archives. While, Combat Mission has you plenty covered in the Western Front. I still think the basic combat mechanics of GT:OS are superior though, Combat Mission has too much squad/sub-squad micromanagement and not enough focus on command & control. Close Combat is just awful, you'd have more fun bashing your head against an ASL rulebook.
