Compelling tactical game
If you enjoy table top miniature war gaming, this is the next step. Close Combat games are tactically complexe while gicing you a historical presentation of WW2 actions.

Historical? - more like Hollywood...
I love wargaming but can never get into this series despite a few efforts. This top down view is ok (like a hi-res version of a 1980s' game) but I always want to also see things from all angles, distanced and up-close (like in the Combat Mission series), and that is severely lacking in the Close Combat series. And yes I know there are some mechanic and feature improvements over the previous effort (Invasion Normandy), but historical accuracy (touted as a key effort in the maker's blurb!) is most definitely NOT one of them. For a start Eisenhower wasn't in charge of the Normandy Campaign - it was Britain's Montgomery. A wise choice as Monty had already defeated Rommel before and was good at logistics too. And the British and Commwealth forces made up 3/5ths of the landings, and just over half of the allied forces (and by the way also the majority of the naval and air efforts in this campaign). And Rommel knew he had to throw 2/3rds of his forces (and all of his elite Panzer units) at the veteran British troops, not the (mostly) green Americans. But you'd never know all that from this game, which seems to take it's "history" lesson from Hollywood blockbusters that virtually ignore the Brits and Candians were even there (or merely mention how the British stagnated but omit it was because they faced most of Rommel's heat). No, you play as heroic Amercians or the elite Germans who somehow by dint of Hollywood fantasy now face an almost entirely US operation. Anyway, Monty's plan was to reach Paris by day 90, and that goal was reached a few days early. Enjoy ignoring history - who needs that in a WW2 wargame anyway, right kiddies? - and after all, sadly this isn't the only series to re-write history because of either the American consumer market or the world who today get their "history" from Hollywood fantasies and want to recreate them on PC.
