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.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
don't buy this game, game full of bugs. More than 2 weeks ago when I bought the game I opened the ticket to solve my problem and no solution.
My game always closes and crashes at the end of the first phase of the campaign, or if you don’t ask to insert the CD rom...awful experience
I remember when this instalment came out. It was utterly difficult, yet surprisingly satisfying. Almost 30 years have passed and it's still the best entry in the series! Great strategy and action, enormous replayability potential and a satisfying challenge. The game sets its bar high in the beginning, but ultimately it's so engrossing, it quickly turns out it's more than worth to learn how to play it. Plus the colourful setting of the Dutch countryside gives you graphics somewhat above the standards set for 1997 - even though it's a birdeye-view game.
Be sure to check out some community advice online, you can get the game running in widescreen and improve compatiblity greatly using a wrapper. I succeeded with DDrawCompat, the other options are dgVoodoo or DXWND.
Knowing this was the first iteration transitioning from the board game Squad Leader to this, this title was amazing in its execution. Set the standard at the time and continues to be challenging when played player v player.
