Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far
Description
Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far includes a free copy of Close Combat (Windows 7 / 8 only, added as a bonus goodie)
Dig in, soldier-for the explosive follow-up Close Combat.
Based on Operation Garden, Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far challenges you to take control of five strategic bridges in the most dramatic battle of World War II. From war-room strategy to gritty trench combat, battlefields come to life as you command Allied or Axis powers. It's a desperate fight - bridge after bridge - where every second counts.
Choose your battles, soldier-but watch your troops closely.
Your best men might be war-weary, others may just be cowards or too green for heavy combat. And you better know how to command - these men won't obey suicidal orders.Dominate the battlefield.
Pound back tank attacks, foil enemy ambushes, and weather the hail of automatic weapon fire. Real-time action pushes your tactical skills to the limit on historically accurate battlefields.Resource allocation lets you customize your forces.
Determine which operations receive reinforcements and which ones must struggle with what's on hand. Everything hinges on your ability to get limited reserves to the right battlefield at the right time.All damage and territory carry forward
Your success in the ground you capture affects your position in future battles.- Fight across three fronts simultaneously in real-time combat.
- Resource Allocation Model provides the strategic edge in designating reinforcements.
- Dynamic battle flow-your forces can push or be pushed back across maps.
- Battlemaker-design your own battles by hand-picking the fighting units.
- More than 130 realistically modeled infantry and vehicles, including assault units, flame-throwing tanks, and exotic half-tracks.
- Elevated terrain, multistory buildings, and true Line of Sight/Line of Fire.
- Various levels of difficulty and complexity (single battle; operation; sector campaign; or grand campaign).

Awesomness
As a kid and teenager I played CC2 ABTF for countless of hours and this was one of those rare cases where the reality was is as good as the memory. One of my all time favourite games!!

Goddamn this was fun back in the day
Don't know how well time has treated it, but fans of genuine strategy should look at this game. I don't know why a multiplayer Close Combat was never made, it would be amazing.

Super game of its age
This is especially good when played multiplayer online. I just wish that somebody (Matrix Games now) would make a proper windows10 version.
