04 Aug 2020



From Mat/Slth:

We are proud to announce that we’ve partnered with Battlefront to bring Combat Mission: Shock Force 2 to our stores. The game, and all its DLCs, will be available from August 25th on Matrix Games, Steam, and other digital stores.

We already work with Battlefront on some very engaging professional projects where Combat Mission is used for training and analysis purposes. We are now genuinely excited to be able to bring it to our wargaming community.




What is Combat Mission Shock Force 2

Shock Force 2 brings you to a hypothetical conflict in Syria between the forces of NATO and the Syrian Army, in which you can play either in real-time or with the innovative turn-based WeGo system. Take command of US Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCT) and Heavy Brigade Combat Teams (HBCT) to fight against Syrian Army Infantry, Mechanized and Armored units in an arid setting. Experience the full range of modern threats to conventional military forces, including irregular combat forces, terrorists, spies, suicide bombers, IED's and other deadly tools employed in the asymmetric warfare of the modern-day. Play the Task Force Thunder campaign, more than a dozen carefully crafted battles, or unlimited Quick Battles. Shock Force 2 focuses on tactical platoon-level action and features both a single-player campaign and multiplayer (Hotseat or PBEM).

Existing owners and Steam?

From the dev:

Hi all,

To answer the immediate question... existing Battlefront CMSF2 customers will get Steam keys for whichever products are owned.  We're not exactly sure yet how we'll get the keys to you (couple of options), but we'll let you know when we know.  Brand new Slitherine customers will get their Steam access along with their purchase.

Release delayed - New release date September 1
Tue, 25 August 2020



Unfortunately, we have some bad news: we won't be able to release today.

We know many of you were anticipating the release of Combat Mission Shock Force 2.

Unfortunately, we have some bad news: we won't be able to release today as the game is still in the Steam review queue. It is entirely dependent on Steam, and there is nothing we can do but wait.

To stay on the safe side, we are delaying the release by one week; therefore, we will be releasing Combat Mission Shock Force 2 on Tuesday, September 1.

We apologize for the delay.

Combat Mission Shock Force 2 is now available
31 Aug 2020




For the first time, Combat Mission Shock Force 2 and all its DLCS are available on Steam, Matrix Games and other digital stores.







Combat Mission Shock Force 2 is set in a hypothetical modern-day (2008) Syrian conflict. The game’s 3D graphics engine takes advantage of Battlefront’s vast experience in 3D wargames, giving an unprecedented level of realism and detail – so much that the game is used in several professional military environments for training and analysis purposes. Players can assign orders to their units, either in real time or with the innovative turn-based WeGo system, as Shock Force 2 focuses on tactical platoon-level action.

The game features a single-player campaign, several pre-made scenarios and multiplayer (Hotseat or PBEM). The DLCs add the US Marines, the British Forces and the NATO armies (German, Dutch and Canadian).

All players who have the original Battlefront version will receive a Steam key for the base game and all DLCs they bought. All details can be found here.

To celebrate the launch on Steam and Matrix Games, Combat Mission Shock Force 2 base game will be discounted at 30% off for a limited time.

Please note that we will only be able to start shipping physical versions out on September 7th.
