Combat Mission: Shock Force 2 recently made the jump to steam, and is also a game that's becoming a frequent staple of the defence industry's training regime. The UK's DSTL, a research arm of the British Government's Ministry of Defence that houses their wargaming team, makes use of the software alongside other games like Command, as well as physical tabletop set-ups.
A recent initiative currently doing the rounds in defence circles, especially when it comes to professional wargames and their contribution to the defence industry, is trying to include a more diverse range of voices and representation. The Derby House Principles (Derby House, Liverpool UK was the location of the Western Approaches Tactical Unit during WWII) have been supported by many leading professional wargame institutions, and now those principles are being brought into Combat Mission.
In partnership with Slitherine and the developers over at Battlefront, DSTL is recruiting for a new range of voice talent to add the ambiance to the game.
