EDIT: GO TO LAST POST
Is anyone else as obsessed with this series as I am? I actually bought the latest one first (Combat Mission Shock Force), but World War 2 Ostfront is so much more interesting so I backtracked to CMBB and CMAK.
The gameplay is simply unparalleled. The graphics on the earlier two (CMBB and CMAK) are aging, but still look decent enough.
The highlight for me is the TacAI (the individual unit AI), it's amazing that such a small dev team made something that blows the **** out of pretty much any typical RTS unit AI.
Check it out if you're interested in WW2 strategy games, here's a quick vid:

Also, a new game is coming out in the series in the next few months, the next CMx2 game, but this time set back in World War 2. First screenie on this page:

They're planning on making a Commonwealth addition following that, after that Bulge, and finally a return to Ostfront (within 2 years prolly). A shame we have to wait, but by that time the engine will be refined.
