Combat Mission: Afghanistan Announced

Battlefront.com, a leading independent war game publisher and developer on the net, and Snowball, a leading Russian software publisher and developer, are proudly introducing Comabt 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 guerrilla forces. CM Afghanistan is currently in development and is expected to be ready for release in Q2 this year, 2010. A English version of the game is available at www.battlefront.com/afghanistan.
