Introduction

Welcome to The Byte Battler, the purpose of this site is to host a particular kind of scenarios for the greatest three Wargames presently in existence; Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord (CMBO for short) Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin (CMBB) and Combat Mission: Afrika Korps (CMAK)

As of August 2008 we now also cater for the Byte Battle needs of Combat Mission: Shock Force players. Click on the CMSF button right to go to our CMSF sub-site.

You will also find a few other bits and pieces of information relating to CMBO / CMBB / CMAK, mainly on the "Documents" pages.

What is a Byte Battle?

The term was coined by the Der Kessel site and denotes a Combat Mission scenario designed to the following requirements:

Length: 15 turns Maximum
Map size: No larger than 480m x 480m
Forces: Maximum of 1500 points (both sides totaled)

Normally the Byte Battle is intended for TCP/IP play so usually these scenarios are not very well suited for solitaire play.

What's the point of Byte Battles?

The idea is to provide well designed, (usually) balanced scenarios that can be played in something like an hour in TCP/IP play.

How do I submit my own BBs to this site?

Easy, just make sure the scenario(s) conform to my BB-Design Guide and then you email it to me.
