I'll hold off until the NATO module is announced in hopes of bundling it with the main game.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRT followed by some air delivered cluster bombs! All from the same aircraft too!

It's a well-put together video, but the use of 1980s VCR technology is kind of a hilarious reminder of CM's aging graphics....

Though now that I think of it, could be interesting to see M-1 Tank Platoon scenarios rendered in CM.  At least that way the graphics are a step up....

Definitely. It's funny, despite being a fictional setting, there is a ton of content already out there which scenario designers can draw on for inspiration.

I still rate M-1 Tank Platoon's campaign system as one of the most fun I've ever played, and it didn't even have a strategic map the way Close Combat did.

I want this game NOW. Why do I have to wait? FEED THE NEED!

This looks like a Day 1 buy for me as well.

Expected release in April 2021. Yes, it is that far along.

Yes but that still really means 2022 :) just kidding.... \m/

CMCW also has a campaign and scenarios set at the NTC.  Very, very cool.  This title is probably my favorite out of all the CM titles.  With all the brush wars etc. and the CM modding community the possibilities for this title are very exciting.

This does look pretty cool.  The option of '79 vs '82 is cool too, will make for some interesting engagements.  I wonder how long it'll take until it's in our hands.

Yskonyn

Very cool and totally unexpected.  :clap:
I hope Engine 5 will give the series a graphical touch up, however. It's beginning to show its age rather glaringly.
I don't feel flashy graphics are what's needed, just higher detailed textures, more detailed terrain mesh and improved 3D models.
