Probably the first tactical strategy game I played extensively, getting late in the game with 2000's Invasion Normandy, the fifth (and final) game in the series. Since Matrix Games got the rights to the original series, they have been updating the classic titles with improved compatibility and enhanced features. Close Combat III turned into Cross of Iron and now Close Combat IV has become Wacht am Rhein. The Battle of the Bulge is represented here, bringing snowy conditions to the struggle of World War II. Let's go shoot some Germans! Virtually speaking, of course."
Developed from the US Marines training simulation, Close Combat: Modern Tactics combines classic top down real time tactical warfare with the excitement of multiplayer head to head gaming. This hefty new update includes plenty of new units both on the ground and in the air in addition a number of other tweaks and AI improvements.
