Buy Combat Mission: Black Sea PC key

Combat Mission: Black Sea is a tactical military simulation set in a fictional conflict in the summer of 2017. Russian forces move into Ukrainian territory, and Ukrainian forces defend against a numerically and technologically superior adversary. Events surrounding the invasion lead NATO to send advanced rapid deployment forces to check the Russian advance. You command forces in contemporary, near-peer tactical warfare at battalion level and below.

Forces and battlefield systems

You command detailed, researched American, Ukrainian and Russian units, including common brigade types such as Mechanized Infantry, Motor Rifle, Stryker and Armored. The battlefield includes Active Protection Systems (APS) that intercept incoming threats, UAVs that transmit intelligence and precision-guided artillery munitions. Electronic warfare can disrupt these capabilities.

The simulation models morale, experience and leadership, as well as Fog of War, spotting, line of sight, command and control, and objectives. Realistic physics, ballistics and battlefield effects shape combat. Weather and lighting conditions also affect fighting ability.

Command and play

You can command individual vehicles, teams and squads. Battles take place in a true 3D environment, and you can play in RealTime or WeGo, a turn-based system. The Quick Battle system creates deliberate or randomized battles based on your specifications.

The game supports single-player and head-to-head play, including Play By Email (PBEM). A full-featured editor lets you create maps, scenarios and campaigns.

Campaigns and scenarios

Combat Mission: Black Sea includes four campaigns, 22 standalone scenarios and a range of Quick Battle maps.
