Works fine out of the box. Custom patching no longer needed.
Works out of the box on Proton 8.XX
I'm pleased/amazed/thankful the wonderful Combat Mission series is FINALLY working out of the box on Linux. In the past, I compiled my own version of wine and/or proton to play this game. It seems that it now works out of the box. I just played a short scenario on my Steam Deck with no issues. I haven't modded it yet and have not tried PBEM++, but I expect those to work fine since they always worked on my custom wine/proton.
To play the popular black ice mod, see instructions here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/black-ice-and-linux.1721693/
Worked perfectly fine for me, and I've experienced no issues beyond the stability challenges that can be expected from a heavily modded 10+ year old game. Crashes are infrequent. The campaign can be played to completion on Linux.
