Battlefront and Slitherine team up With CM: Shock Force 2

Posted On: Ausgust 4, 2020

Battlefront is happy to announce a new commercial sales partnership with Slitherine Publishing. The new arrangement puts Slitherine’s considerable marketing muscle to work getting Combat Mission into more hands than ever before through its Matrix Games online store and Steam. Combat Mission Shock Force 2 is the first CM family to make the move to Slitherine with more to follow over time. Battlefront’s online store will remain unchanged, except that pricing will stay in synch with a coordinated sales strategy. Yes, that means Battlefront will finally offer periodic sales to its customers! On the development side of things Battlefront remains fully independent as it has for the past 20+ years.

Game Engine 4 Patches are Released

Posted On: July 18, 2020

We are happy to announce that we have released a new patch for Game Engine 4 Combat Mission games Battle for Normandy, Shock Force 2, Fortress Italy, Final Blitzkrieg and Black Sea. These patches are all available for download now. You can download all of these patches now by clicking here. Details about each patch can be found on that game’s forum page. One change that is made to all the games is that soldiers are more likely to hold their ground and shelter in place when suppressed in defensible terrain (building, hedgerow, etc), rather than engage in evasive behavior. (There is no new patch for Combat Mission: Red Thunder. The improvements included in these patches will be released with the module Fire and Rubble)

Happy 20th Birthday Combat Mission Beyond Overlord!

Posted On: August 8, 2018

The journey to bring Combat Mission Shock Force 2 up to current Game Engine 4 is nearly is at an end! We are pleased to announce preorders for CMSF2 Base Game and Bundles are now available. And for those who don't know, all CMSF1 (original) products can be inexpensively upgraded once CMSF2 is released. How inexpensive? $35 for everything or less if you only have one or two things in need of an Upgrade. The obvious question out there is "when will CMSF2 ship?" We're aiming for no later than the end of September. However, we'll soon release a demo with 4 battles and a training mission. That should help keep you occupied for a while.
