The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A slow, methodical wargame that feels like directing a real armored division through France's hedgerows, where every move matters and casualties feel heavy.

What players say

Players say Combat Mission Battle for Normandy offers unmatched tactical depth but is held back by bugs, a tiny UI at higher resolutions, and a steep learning curve with virtually no tutorial. Many recommend buying only on sale, citing a greedy DLC model and prices they consider too high for such an old engine.
