Combat Mission: Black Sea

This tactical military simulation depicts a fictional conflict between Russia and Ukraine that escalates into open war in the summer of 2017. Russian forces advance into Ukrainian territory as Ukrainian units defend the country, with NATO forces later moving to check the Russian advance. Players command detailed American, Ukrainian, and Russian units, including mechanized infantry, motor rifle troops, and armored forces.

Battles unfold in 3D at battalion level and below, with control over vehicles, teams, and squads. Morale, experience, leadership, visibility, and command and control shape combat, while UAVs, active protection systems, precision artillery, and electronic warfare feature on the battlefield. Weather and lighting affect fighting ability. The game includes four campaigns, 22 standalone scenarios, Quick Battles, an editor for maps and scenarios, single-player play, and head-to-head battles.
