On June 6th, 1944 the combined forces of the United States, Great Britain, Canada and France launched the greatest amphibious invasion in the history of the world. The blow fell in Normandy, France - striking Adolph Hitler's Atlantic Wall with nine divisions of assault troops plus support from navel gunfire and massive air strikes. Close Combat lets you relive this monumental battle in real-time tactical detail.
I come back to this for a low stake high reward war simulator. AI are pretty dumb and blind, so tactics really do matter. A less demanding game than Call to arms specs wise, be known Close Combat does not play like CTA, just RTS.
Fun game, would recommend getting the series. All games work, no clue what these speds are complaining about.
The closest thing to an actual combat simulation I have seen in a game this basic.
I recently bought this along with the bundle containing the first five Close Combat games. I notice that this one—my favorite—doesn't support resolutions higher than 1280x720.
There are other places where you can buy the game and get up to 3840x2160 resolution.
I'll buy it again once Steam enables those options, but for now, I'm going to request a ...
A fun little game in a great series, graphics aren't anything spectacular, but the focus of the game is real-time tactics and maneuvering... the computer cheats a bit with amazing mortar accuracy and such, but not nearly as bad as some games.
I've been playing this series for decades, and still a lot of fun!
This game is a nostalgia game for me and when I purchased it on Steam I had great hopes for it. Then I installed it and the resolutios didn't work well and there were problems getting things to work properly in Windows 11. I got this and the other Close Combat games really cheap so they were not worth returning.
I am glad I didn't!
I moved to linux...
