The comparison to COTA is interesting. I think both Battlefront and COTA are among the best games ever made. They are aesthetically very different.

I find Battlefront to be the more engaging and immersive (in the sense that
I am focused on the world of the game) of the two. There is a certain ironic distance
inherent in COTA's more coherent and intense simulation of events.

For me, Battlefront resonates with my accumulated experience of playing lots of games while COTA distances me from everything except puzzling over the way it rather
uncannily relates to many aspects of reality (night and day, up and down,
Royal Pervolian or Just Welsh). I guess COTA is more of a documentary and BF is more of an immersive (if gamey in a good way) game.

I like your comparison Meng, i agree, DB/BF and COTA are excellent and they are by far the best wargames ive played for the last few years.
 
You cant compare the games on a gameplay scale but immersion they both definately get my vote for different reasons.

Agree completely.

Hope I've been some help in getting a look at BFTB with my as yet unfinished AAR.

I'm still currently testing scenarios and there are some really great ones!
