Close Combat III: The Russian Front

Close Combat III: The Russian Front

Windows - Released - December 31, 1998

Yet another Real Time Strategy game... Yet another WWII game... but unlike most WWII games, this one takes place on the *Eastern* Front! It is 1941, and Germany is launching Operation Barbarossa: the invasion of Russia. Finally, a game that captures the magnitude of this epic, 4-year-long battle that ultimately sealed the end of the 3rd Reich! As with the previous CC games, this one is incredibly researched. The sounds of the dozens of different weapons, the hundreds of unit types, the terrain... it is just amazing how much work went into drawing the sprites and the maps. Units can panic, be pinned, suppressed, surrender, regroup... you name it. There are flame tanks, snipers, bunkers, city fighting, winter/summer battles, different weather conditions, mine fields... pretty much anything that might normally happen on a battlefield can happen in this game. And the best parts: it covers the entire Eastern Front battle from 41-45, and it has good multiplayer support. I mean... if you play the Germans, your guys speak German, and if you play the Russians, they speak Russian. You just don't get more realistic than that. :)
Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far

Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far

Apple Mac OS - Released - 1997

You're the commander of the allied forces at Operation Market Garden. You can play as either the Germans or the Allies. You play on the battlefield in real-time. The battlefield is bloody and realistic, with scary screams of man down as you watch a man get his head blown off, (the games played in a topdown view,) and the ratta-tat-tat of the German machine-guns. Real machine gun sounds. The Close Combat series have always been realistic because of the AI. Your men will run away if the Germans do a rush or something like that, and they'll be unresponsive if you make them do something stupid (like rushing tanks), and if they start to move into gunfire, under your command of course, they'll go back to the start, or away from the enemy.
Close Combat: Cross of Iron

Close Combat: Cross of Iron

Windows - Released - February 12, 2007

Close Combat: Cross of Iron is an enhanced remake of the critically acclaimed real time strategy game, Close Combat III: The Russian Front by Atomic Games. Playing as either the Germans or Russians, the game takes place during WWII on the Russian Front, where as a commander you must lead your troops through five years of brutal combat. Like other games in the series, the AI for both your troops and the enemy is what makes the game. Order troops to attack and heavily armed tank, and they may refuse, calling you insane. Leave a team unsupported and under heavy attack, and the team may begin to panic and flee or even surrender. While it keeps the traditional top down view of the earlier games, Close Combat: Cross of Iron has some limited RPG like elements. Troops can be upgraded and refitted with new equipment between battles and for each battle they survive they gain skills like experience and strength. Also included in the remake are new graphics, sounds, and an all new campaign.

V for Victory: Victory Pak

V for Victory: Victory Pak

MS-DOS - Released - 1993

V for Victory, or V4V for short, is a series of turn-based strategy games set during World War II. They were the first releases for Atomic Games who went on to have a long career in the wargame industry. Like earlier computer adaptions of the pen-and-paper wargame genre, V4V used a hex-based map covering its area of action and used military markers to indicate the location of various units. However, V4V used a much simpler user interface where commands were given by point-and-click and dragging the units on-screen with the mouse, compared to arcane commands and map coordinates used in earlier games. At the same time, the game engine was able to simulate many operational factors that earlier games like Squad Leader had to ignore in order to avoid overloading the user with minutia. The result was a wargame that was both easy to play and had considerably more operational detail at the same time. It was lauded by players and reviewers, who called it a "must have". The original scenario, D-Day Utah Beach, was a best-seller and was followed by three additional scenario packs. The system was written so that the scenarios plugged into a common base application, allowing users to launch newer games from whichever scenario they purchased first. [from Wikipedia]
