The "combat mission" series is a very well-successfull attempt to model tactic warfare. Basically what you have here are real scale terrain, units and combat - and what is even more important, a real time flow where reactions, speeds, movement and fire rounds works in a very realistic timing. In my point of view this is the best feature of the combat mission series. All of this flows in a perfetcly controlable 3D envoiroment. To manage all of this could be difficult, so this is how the game works: you have an orders phase, where you tell your units what to do. Then you just click "play" and you sit back and watch one minute of combat. After this one minute elapses, the game pauses and you remake (or keep) your orders. This may sound weird but actually it is a great sistem, since it also recreates the difficulty involved in giving orders and having your troops to respond to them.

Units are perfectly - I mean perfectly - depicted, specially vehicles, their speeds, armaments, reactions and etcetera. This is a must-have for strategy gamers.
