Experience combat in a full 3D battlefield as machinegun tracers arc overhead and exploding artillery shells shake the earth! PC. Combat Mission 3: Afrika Korps. Combat Mission: Afrika Korps is a 1-2 player, hybrid turn-based/realtime 3D simulation of WWII tactical warfare in parts of the Mediterranean Theater including North Africa, Italy, Sicily and Crete from 1940 to 1945. Like its predecessors, Combat Mission: Afrika Korps manages to offer an incredibly complex tactical wargame in an accessible package. While the Combat Mission engine does a capable job of simulating infantry battles, its real strength has always been rendering tank and armored vehicle clashes. Like the other Combat Mission games, Afrika Korps is a turn-based, hardcore WWII wargame that eschews traditional hex-based gameplay in favor of more visceral 3D environments. Combat Mission: Afrika Korps covers the war in North Africa, Italy and Crete from 1940 to 1945. The biggest problem with the single-player game, however, remains the unchallenging AI. In this environment, you can revel in the units’ nuances, and in theory, emotionally relate to the action as your men beat back a fierce assault or desperately take cover from a thundering artillery barrage. A crude count is 1,045 total scenarios, broken down as: 1940 - 67 Scenarios Afrika Korps is the third installment of the acclaimed Combat Mission series, and like its predecessors, it represents the absolute state-of-the-art in tactical wargames.

Until the release of CMAK there have been precious few opportunities to wargame battles between the Commonwealth forces of Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India against the Italians and Germans. Afrika Korps works under the same rules that apply in the real world. Barely an improvement over CM: Barbarossa to Berlin. Combat will play out on the tactical scale; each unit is a single squad, weapons team, heavy gun, or vehicle. Required fields are marked *. Given the scale of these tactical battles, it would be artificial to offer an encompassing Panzer General-style campaign. It simulates battles in the Mediterranean theater of operations, including North Africa, Italy and Crete, between 1940 and 1945.
