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).
Game crashes every single time you end a battle, whatever button you press.
Sometimes it crashes even during a battle as soon as you press any keyboard control.
Could even get to the 2nd battle of the game because of that.
5 Euro and 4 hours of my time wasted.
Very, very delusional.
Great classic for those that want a tactical game. Playing bring back memories getting a squad wiped out when playing the first time it came out. So nostalgia value. As for the game itself beginners would be best with Germans, as the MG42, Stormtrooper units, and panzerfaust with units gives a jack of all trades with anti tank and anti infantry. Allies are a little harder as armor must be played careful for the above reasons.
Was as good as remembered. Few issues with game but nothing major. Example scrolling map with mouse is super sensitive and not usable. so have to use arrows but its good that you have 2 arms.
