Wargaming got a shot in the arm recently with the glorious Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord from Big Time Software. The game plays like a turn based wargame but 60 second turns are resolved simultaneously, resulting in chaos, disaster and victory that plays like a cross between the real-time Close Combat series and Talonsoft's excellent Rising Sun. CM is brilliant folks, absolutely brilliant, I can't praise it enough (though I'll try, look for the review here at SE soon).

The good news here is that the initial printing sold out within a week! Meaning the game is far more popular then the publishers thought it would be. To their credit it only took them a week to get a new printing down, so head over to Battlefront.Com (it's only sold online) and promise me you'll at least download the Demo. You won't regret it.

Until next week then? It's a date. I'll bring the whine.
