Three classic Combat Mission titles are set to return to PC this fall, thanks to SNEG, Ltd., the publisher focused on bringing old-school strategy games back to life. Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord, Combat Mission II: Barbarossa to Berlin, and Combat Mission 3: Afrika Korps will launch on Steam on September 10, 2025, priced at $5.99 USD each, with a limited-time 10% discount at release.
These are not remasters. SNEG is re-releasing the original games, but with a number of updates, bug fixes, and modern PC support—including non-4:3 resolutions. In addition, each release comes with a bundle of community-made content, ranging from scenarios to mods, giving players even more to chew on.
The Combat Mission series made its mark with its “We-Go” system, where battles unfold in two stages: players plan moves simultaneously, then watch the action play out in one dramatic sequence. The format kept tactical depth intact while offering the intensity of real-time clashes.
Here’s what’s included with each title:

The series, once a cornerstone of PC wargaming, now has a new chance to find both old fans and new commanders on modern storefronts.
