Yep. I own most Combat Mission titles, but they are stuck in the last century. I'm hoping the Slitherine partnership will in some way get Battlefront to get with the times, but I doubt that will happen.
Listen, I love the tactical part of the game, the battlefield. Combat Mission is exceptional in terms of ballistics, spotting and C2. But in almost every other way the series is very much out of date.
The series desperately needs a new model, in my view. A complete re-imagining from the ground up. Interface, graphics, AI, campaign system, editor, well the works. As long as the players have no way to easily generate campaigns and other content, and instead are tethered to the supply chain from the admirable yet unprolific authors, it will remain where it is. A great tactical battlefield brought down by all that surrounds it.
