Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far, or Close Combat II, is a World War II real-time tactics game, developed by Atomic Games, and released on September 30, 1997. The second installment of the Close Combat series, the game is played on a two-dimensional map, between two players.
Close Combat is based on Operation Market Garden; most units in the game are based on those used in 1944, with the exception of a few which are only available in custom games. The game may be played as either the Germans, or the Allies, the latter divided into the British, Americans, and Polish. The game received mainly positive reviews.
Skip this one unless you are doing a series playthrough. Bridge missions introduce tight time limits and with only slightly more competent AI than 1st game, its not fun.
There are missions without time limits and bridges. But then we aren't fighting over bridges in the bridge game.
CLOSE COMBAT IS A FUN SERIES worth getting on sale if your PC can't...
