Best Wargame of 2000: Combat Mission
DEVELOPER : Big Time Software 
PUBLISHER : Battlefront.com

For years, war gamers have dreamed of the perfect war game. The game that incorporates the perfect blend of simultaneous turn-based movement, and real-time results. The game where each player can make his or her move, and not give a complete advantage to their opponent who can see their movement and counter it easily. The game where you have to really think about deployment, movement orders, cover fire, scouting, total strategy. The war game that, instead of being a bunch of icons on a hex grid, is a 3D based unit oriented tactical simulation.

The dreaming is finally over. The perfect war game is here: Combat Mission. This is the game that all other war games will now be judged. Every piece of the puzzle: Gameplay, graphics, sound, support, documentation (something that is severely lacking these days), variety of missions, ability to easily add user modifications (graphics and sound), tactical depth and accuracy, balancing, multiplayer options - is why Combat Mission is our Wargame of the Year.
