	Close Combat
		Close combat is inherent in maneuver and has one purpose—to decide the outcome of battles and engagements.
		The mission of the Infantry is to close with the enemy by fire and maneuver in order to destroy or capture him, or to repel his attack by fire, close combat, or counterattack.
		Close combat is necessary if the enemy is skilled and resolute; fires alone will neither drive him from his position nor convince him to abandon his cause.

	Future Games Network -- Close Combat V: Invasion Normandy (PC) Review
		It is fitting that the fifth installment in the Close Combat series should focus on the Normandy campaign and the follow on breakout operations because this release is proportionally as critical to the long–term viability of the Close Combat franchise as the operations it portrays were to the Allied cause.
		The Close Combat series is based on Company level combat with three platoons of up to five squads each on a side.
		Off’map support is best used against massed groups of enemy units in close proximity to one another, such as the jammed conditions on the beaches of Normandy, and early in each scenario when enemy units are crammed into a deployment zone and have not yet begun to disperse and move to contact.

		Close Combat: first to Fight is what it is, a decent but not great twist on the standard first person shooter.

	Physiology of Close Combat - Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, Author
		The traditional view of combat stress is most often associated with combat fatigue and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which are actually manifestations that occur after, and as a result of, combat stress.
		Bruce Siddle has defined combat stress as the perception of an imminent threat of serious personal injury or death, or the stress of being tasked with the responsibility to protect another party from imminent serious injury or death, under conditions where response time is minimal.
		The fundamental truth of modern combat is that the stress of facing close-range interpersonal aggression is so great that, if endured for months on end without any other means of respite or escape, the combatant will inevitably become a psychiatric casualty.

	Strategy Gaming Online - Reviews : Close Combat 3 : The Russian Front
		Close Combat, as the new game was called, was below even that – it was, for all intents and purposes, a skirmish-level simulation of WWII combat.
		The pressure of real-time action, coupled with great immersive sound effects and some true bastard on the other end of the line (who I’m CERTAIN always gets more points to buy his troops than I did, darn it!) makes this about as fun as can be.
		In sum, Close Combat 3: The Russian Front is a decent single player and great multiplayer game.

		Essentially, however, the novel succeeds because the alcoholic and amorous exploits of its stateside heroes could be mink-lined wish fulfillment for the fantasies of the average soldier--most of the "close combat" here takes place in various bedrooms.
		Needless to say, if you are reading Corps: Close Combat, you are either a fan of Griffin, a fan of the series, or you found a copy propping up the corner of your bed at the Motel 6.
