Ask for your money back if you feel your purchase has been mis-represented. |

But, I guess "ignorance is bliss" when it comes to the modern tactics thing Therion is mentioning. I must not know what I am missing, becuase now (even more so since CC2 Redux), I think CCMT is the best Close Combat I have experienced in a while, but then I did not get WAR or TLD. |

OK,
You have mentioned this before, and it is definately one of your pet peeves (I think). And in general, I am going to agree with you 100%. I also think this particular issue has persisted in other games in the series. |

However, using CCMT, I have seen some excellent combined arms attacks made by the AI, even though I realized at the time, this was basically due to sheer luck rather than shrewd planning. I have observed this in modern and WW2 scenarios. |

Also, CCMT has cleared up some other annoying issues (in my mind). You can't really rush strongholds or structures anymore. And visibility (sometimes wacky), makes the game much more difficult for the attacker. |

For those that don't know, at my household, we basically treat this game as a simulator. We only play against the AI, we design COIN missions per se, we never make the sides even (the AI doesn't get much), and we try to take the objectives with zero losses to the Blue Team. This we do for modern and to a lesser degree, WW2 scenarios. |

For me Matrix/S3T are on the right track now with WAR and TLD. They have fixed many bugs that people complained about (especially CC5 has it had many, CC4 was actually pretty stable) and have added some new things. Each release seems to be building on the previous where under Atomic they added features each release but then always seemed to remove something too. |

Hi Therion,
Regarding CC, you may have access to better data than me (prices and units sold), so I thought I would just speak about my own experience. I think I bought CC5 in 1999 or 2000. I paid $35 (or was it $40). About a year later I got CC4 on a bargain table for $10. In 2008 I paid $20 for CCMT. I did not buy CCM, RTB, COI, WAR, or TLD. I believe all of these games came out after CC5. You probably don't remember, but you and I disscussed CCMT at Matrix, and I weighed your advise (and others), and picked up CCMT. In my view, it was a good move. Now, it could be, (and I am not saying that it is), that many people have had a similar experience with CC. (i.e. they did not purchase CCM, RTB, COI, WAR, or TLD). |

I agree about the lack of campaign. I never liked the CC4/CC5 campaign as I got bored after a few turns. |

You are correct Stwa...CCMT has the best game editor in the series. |
