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.

A very enjoyable classic Wargame!
I've never played any CC games. This is my first and I want you to know it is very funny despite its difficulty at the beginning. After some time spent on the game and get used to the old pixel art graphic and mechanics the game results very enjoyable. Get it even if you don't have played any wargames. Recommended

This is NOT modern-compatible
At this point, the game is barely playable... The screen-edge scroll speed, being CPU-dependent, is basically faster-than-light, which makes moving the camera around (critical aspect of an RTS) a pain to do efficiently (using arrows takes your hand off the mouse or hotkeys, clicking the minimap still takes more time). Also, anything about switching windows or minimizing the game makes it crash. With the recent closing of the main fan website of the series, most fixes seem to be gone... I tried fiddling with Dxwnd, but I couldn't get the game running at all. There might be ways to make it work correctly on modern computers, but, in the name of all that's holy, that shouldn't be something to be done by a customer of a store that is supposedly about selling modern-compatible old games. This stays at one star until it gets overhauled in the GoG Program.

problems saving
Whenever I finish a battle and select cease fire time it kicks me back to the GOG load page. When I reload the game the battle I just did did not save. It's no good unless I can do a campaign with saves. Anyone else encounter this problem?
