GameGossip: What is Combat Mission: Afrika Korps all about?
What type of strategy game is it?
Martin van Balkom: CMAK is the third - and final - game in the award-winning Combat Mission series (Wargame of the Year 2000 and 2002 - PC Games magazine), covering the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, i.e. Italy, North Africa and Crete, during World War Two. The CM series is not only known for its groundbreaking full 3D engine, but also for the unprecedented realism. We're using real world physics to simulate ballistics and armor penetrations; we're using real world data and first hand research on equipment, tactics and environment; and we're using an innovative hybrid system of turn-based strategy and real-time action. CM is the most realistic tactical combat simulation - bar none. Players are leading tanks and squads of nine nations through the heat of the North African deserts, the rocky hills of Crete, the beaches of Sicily and Italy, all the way to the fortified German lines in the Alps. A full featured map and mission editor allows for endless replayability on maps up to 20 square kilometers in size, with hundreds of units engaged in fierce tactical battle. CMAK will only be available from Battlefront.com, for both PC and Mac, and will not be found in stores. It will be released November this year.
