Though the cat has been out of the bag on this one for some time, Battlefront is now getting around to announcing Combat Mission: Afghanistan. Battlefront.com, a leading independent wargame publisher and developer on the net, and Snowball, a leading Russian software publisher and developer, are proudly introducing COMBAT MISSION AFGHANISTAN! Combat Mission Afghanistan is the first collaboration between Battlefront and a third party studio to create a completely new game in the Combat Mission series. CM Afghanistan is a standalone game and not an expansion, and does not require any of the other games to play! CM Afghanistan covers two periods of the Russian-Afghan wars - the initial phase 1980-1982, and the later years of highest activity 1985-1987 - in two campaigns and ten standalone missions. CM Afghanistan is not just a mission pack: based on the latest CM engine in development, the game includes not only all new artwork, terrain, new units, new weapons, and new nations, but also introduces some completely new game features, such as exit objective zones and more! Players are able to take command of Soviet or DRA (Democratic Republic of Afghanistan) Army units as well as mujahedeen guerilla forces. CM Afghanistan is currently in development and is expected to be ready for release in Q2 this year, 2010. It will be available in retail throughout Eastern Europe directly from Snowball, and in an english version worldwide only from www.battlefront.com/afghanistan!
As I said before, I'll be all over this one. And as an added bonus, since it's being co-developed by Apeiron we get to mock mondblut endlessly if it sucks.
