In Close Combat, everything reacts like it does on the battlefield, from the ripping canvas hiss of the German MG42 machine gun to the screams of the men it hits. Each soldier has a psychological profile that affects his behavior on the battleground. And all the combat action happens right in front of you, in real time. So there's no time to thumb through the manual as you work your mouse like a weapon. Point and click and boom, the shooting starts the second your men step off Omaha Beach, and it don't let up 'til they've taken St. Lo. Troops, terrain, situations – if you want to get any more accurate, you'll have to shave your head!

Real-time: All the action goes down right in front of you.

Historically accurate: Close Combat tracks the actual conflicts between the US 29th division and the German 352nd.

Easy to play and install: Simple mouse clicks control all the games action, and Windows 95 "AutoPlay" make installing and launching the game as easy as inserting the CD into the drive.
