'Combat Mission Shock Force: NATO' - 13 New Screens

by Rainier on Oct. 1, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT

Combat Mission Shock Force: NATO focusses on modern warfare in a fictional conflict in Syria, introducing forces from three additional NATO countries: Germany, Canada and the Netherlands, as well as some new, much requested, units and vehicles for the Syrian side.

Combat Mission Shock Force NATO will feature 3 new armies and additional units to the Syrian side. This means a lot of new vehicles and weapons. Not to mention air support for the Syrian army too. There are also 3 campaigns for the Dutch, Canadians and Germans. In total 36 unique missions!

While in the previous modules we had 18 missions in a campaign here you get twice that much. We are not counting the variants either. Some missions have 2 variants, some have 4! The German campaign alone has 25 scenarios! There are also 25 stand alone missions. They are very different from one another in size and force mix.

Also the terrain and settings are varied. Among the standalones we have 6 H2H maps. 3 are metting engagements and 3 attack type scenarios, specifically designed to be played against another human opponent, so that both sides have balanced forces and objectives. PBEM/TCP players will sure be happy with that. Also included in the module are 50 new maps for the Quick Battles system. That puts the total of QB maps at 275. The total of scenarios, including the ones in the campaigns, is 61 (not counting variants)!!!! It is an umprecedented amount of content in a single module or game! That should keep players busy and happy for some time!


All three countries in the module share similar armaments, such the powerful Leopard 2 MBT, but also field vehicles, weapons and variants that make them unique. Germany: Marder IFV, Wiesel and G36 rifle. Canada: LAV3, Bison, Nyala, Leopard C2, unique variants of the Leopard 2 MBT such as Leopard 2A4+ and Leopard 2A6M. Netherlands: CV90-35, the iconic YPR-765 and the mighty Gil(Spike-MR) missile system. Add to this their own unique organization and formations, realistically depicted in the module.

Play with them on their own or as part of a multi-national joint task force using any of CMSF's other units. Included in the package are a number of new scenarios and three (!) new campaigns for exciting play right out of the box. You can also use the powerful editor to create your own scenarios and share them with other Shock Force players. New voices, sound effects, and game features round out the game experience.
