Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

I love the fact you are concentrating on immersion with this release. I usually have problems at any scale over squad with immersion but CoTA for me was fine. Maybe reading alot of books set at company level have helped.

Still I think its great your taking a look at this as many developers overlook this issue at this scale and above.

Nice to see you back Wodin [:)]

It is very true that, although COTA didn't throw immersion by the bucketload at the player, there's plenty to be found when you see the details. You have to look for it, that's all. Including unit data in the game for Bulge will help a lot in this regard.

If I read or hear about just about any WWII battles it's always COTA/HTTR that it gets me in the mood to play. It just seems like the real deal, whereas other games, including other favourites of mine, seem very gamey by comparison.
