    Reception

    Combat Mission II: Barbarossa to Berlin saw an overwhelmingly positive reception by professional video game critics, averaging an 89 out of 100 Metacritic score based on 12 reviews , 11 of which were marked by the reviews aggregator as "positive".

    GameSpy gave the game a 5-star review, lauding the game as "quite simply, one of the best games of any genre available for the PC (and even the Mac!)". Similarly, Gamespot attributed Combat Mission II a score of 9.1 out of 10, denoting that "Combat Mission navigates beautifully between... two extremes" which, according to the review, defined war strategy games at the time, namely "burying [the gameplay] under numbers and hexes or dumbing it down with Panzer General-style levels of abstraction and simplicity". The review concludes that "Barbarossa to Berlin raises the wargaming bar even higher with its pitch-perfect, ultra-polished improvements to an already great game".

    The game won both Computer Gaming World's Editor's Choice and Reader's Choice awards for "Wargame of the Year" for the year 2002.
