Return to Riesberg (Remembering the very first Combat Mission demo)
For many, the love affair with Combat Mission began with Chance Encounter and Valley of Trouble, the astonishingly replayable CMBO demo scenarios that showcased Big Time Software’s brave new world of 3D WeGo wargaming so well. It’s easy to forget that this genre-jolting trial had a predecessor.
