Please leave a comment and a like for the Algorithm :) After 7 months of on & off work, the second video in my Combat Mission After Action Report series has finally arrived! Today we take a look at Combat Mission: Cold War. An alternate history 'Cold War Gone Hot' scenario in the Fulda Gap region of West Germany. More specifically, today we are covering the battle of Kriegsburg in 1979, a fictional german town sees a ragtag and badly depleted American force taking on an entire Soviet Motor Rifle Regiment. It's about to get hot!

Great showing! If I had to guess, Kriegsburg '81 is the hardest one for the Americans, T-64s are nigh-impenetrable from the front by Dragons or the American's sabots while they can one-shot your M60s from across the map. I played '81 from the Soviet side and it was quite a stomp.

By 1979 Chieftain Mk5s were equipped with Thermal Optic Gunnery Sights (TOGS) together with a laser rangefinder so they could be fairly powerful for 1979/80 but probably any later they wouldn’t do too well in a front on engagement with Pact forces.

It's unfortunately not that simple. CM has plenty of issues there's no doubt about that. But transitioning to a new engine would not only be a huge and expensive enterprise but also would likely cause CM to lose major elements of what makes it so compelling. Also BFC owns the CMX engine completely. If they were to use another engine they would need to start paying for use of that engine. BFC charges premium prices because they will always be a niche product and their target market has few issues paying it. It's just not worth the effort or money expended.
