	Review - Close Combat : Invasion Normandy // PC /// Eurogamer
		Above all, the close nature of the terrain brings good combined arms tactics to the fore; the days when you could send tanks off on their own across the Russian plains in Close Combat III are long gone.
		Close Combat III offered a points system that allowed the successful player to put together a force of his choosing with few practical restrictions.
		This game lives or dies on its gameplay though, and you don't even notice the odd indication that this is still a 2D game as the attention to detail is breathtaking.

	Close Combat 2
		In September 1944, with the Germans reeling and the Allies closing on the Reich’s borders, Montgomery planned to attack with the British XXX Corps on a narrow front across the canal-and-river laced Dutch countryside, with the ultimate objective of seizing a bridge across the Rhine at Arnhem.
		Partially this is due to the campaign itself—many of the scenarios are fought at close range in small towns, and often the objective for the Allies is to capture a bridge before the Germans blow it.
		Close Combat 2 has a lot to offer to a wide range of gamers; one can only hope that serious wargamers will not be put off by the game’s real-time engine and that Total Annihilation fans will not shrink from the game’s historical aspects, because this game successfully capitalizes upon the strengths of both.

	Close Combat download @ Game Downloads
		The game includes a nice tutorial (the same as in the demo of the game); this shows some basic tactics and how to move your troops.
		In game terms, it means that your men are human, they have human reactions to situations, and each and every soldier is accounted for and modelled separately.
		Close Combat is a very enjoyable game, moreso with the 1.0a patch applied (which for one thing speeds up scrolling appreciably).

	Close Combat IV
		Close Combat IV will include a grand campaign, a mini-campaign (Kampfgruppe Peiper), and over 40 stand-alone scenarios, as well as a scenario and campaign editor.
		In Close Combat IV, you’ll be able to make strategic decisions—like the allocation of reserves and air and artillery assets—that will affect your tactical games, and the losses you inflict and suffer in gameplay will have some bearing on the strategic picture.
		Close Combat IV should be out by the end of this month, and we’ll be interested to see if the SSI can pull off the integration of the strategic and tactical aspects of the game.

	Close Combat: First To Fight > Review
		The Close Combat series takes the opportunity to use this concept and tie in the history by incorporating Marines into their series, while at the same time improving and changing their style of gameplay to create an all new experience.
		I hope this game proves that gamers, for the most part, prefer a completely finished game delayed until after the scheduled release date over an on-time game that feels as if it should still be in beta testing.
		Close Combat: first to Fight is what it is, a decent but not great twist on the standard first person shooter.

	Amazon.com: Close Combat 4: The Battle of the Bulge: Computer & Video Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Close Combat is a series of squad-level World War II tactical combat games that simulate the behavior of individual men and vehicles.
		At heart, the fourth Close Combat is very similar to more traditional real-time strategy games: You assign your units various orders such as move, fast move, sneak, lay smoke, ambush, defend, and fire by right-clicking the mouse, and you give your units a target or destination by left-clicking.
		Where Close Combat II was cool in that it allowed you to customize what units showed up for each battle, Close Combat IV blows it away with bigger maps, smarter AI, artillery and air support, and the ability to move your units around a game-board of sorts.

	Close Combat III: The Russian Front (PC) Reviews. PC Games Reviews by CNET.
		The game runs comfortably on older hardware, and thankfully Atomic hasn't jumped on the "every game needs to be 3D" bandwagon that has become so pervasive in the industry.
		Close Combat III allows you to duke it out against live opponents or the excellent AI in single scenarios, operations (a series of linked scenarios), custom-made scenarios, or campaigns.
		Close Combat III: The Russian Front is the best Close Combat game of the bunch and personally probably the best wargame to grace your hard drive ever.

		The second, Close Combat: Red Phoenix, is a real time strategy game loosely based on the best-selling novel by Larry Bond.
		Close Combat 5 was great too, but the 2nd game is still king.

	Extreme Gamer - Close Combat: First to Fight Xbox Review
		This game however is based off an army simulation so you would expect it to be ultra realistic.
		Testing your memory of the Xbox controller the game uses pretty much every button for something, which is weird because even with all the complication the game just felt too bare bones.
		The game is almost completely silent during gameplay, which is what you will hear 95% of the time.

	Close Combat III: The Russian Front: Review
		Close Combat III not only lives up to the great expectations of its predecessors, it once again sets the pace for innovative, exciting, and immersive RTS gameplay.
		Imported from the original game, the color-coded shooting/defend arc queues allow you to determine where you want your troops to focus their attention and to what degree they should defend that particular piece of land (fig.
		Rather, it is the result of a wider calculation based on the experience of the unit, the morale of the troop when brought to the front line, and the individual troop's health and leadership skills.

	First To Fight - Close Combat - Clanspy - The Hardcore Gamers Hangout (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		More and more military-based games these days are either developed from real training tools used by soldiers and/or enlist the help of real life soldiers to consult the developers into creating the most realistic combat experience around.
		Close Combat: First to Fight has used both of these techniques while being created from a real training tool used by the US Marine Corps and with the help of over 40 US Marines fresh out of the Middle East.
		The game's six missions take roughly 10 hours to beat and are split up into certain events with their own separate objectives each.

	Review: Close Combat
		The game was originally going to be based on 'Squad Leader', Avalon Hill's best-selling board wargame but you would never guess that from the finished product because Close Combat is nothing like 'Squad Leader'.
		In essence, Close Combat is a real-time tactical combat simulation game based around the experiences of the US 29th Infantry Division in Normandy when they were up against the veteran 352nd Germany Infantry regiment.
		Close Combat is a big step forward for wargamers, the first in what must be a new generation of real-time super-realistic sims.

	GameSpy: Close Combat: First to Fight Preview
		The first Close Combat game in a long while is also the first FPS to bear the name.
		The 28th is specialized in all manner of urban combat, and is well-equipped for the task, both psychologically and in terms of load-out.
		The game's primary draw -- and what will potentially sell it to those who shy away from micromanagement-heavy squad-based shooters -- is the fact that your team will operate with extreme effectiveness with no input from you.

		Although the company has only made strategy games in the past, the result of their foray into the world of action games is not bad at all.
