Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far

Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far is a real-time tactical combat game set on historically accurate battlefields. You command troops across three fronts simultaneously, manage limited reinforcements and fight to capture ground that affects your position in later battles.

Command your troops

Your men have different levels of experience and morale: some are war-weary, some are cowards and others are too green for heavy combat. They will not obey suicidal orders, so you need to consider their condition when directing them. You face tank attacks, enemy ambushes and automatic weapon fire.

Manage the campaign

The Resource Allocation Model lets you decide which operations receive reinforcements and which must make do with the forces on hand. Your ability to send limited reserves to the right battlefield shapes the fighting. Battle lines can shift as your forces push forward or are driven back across maps, and damage and territory carry over into future battles.

Battles and forces

The game includes more than 130 realistically modeled infantry units and vehicles, including assault units, flame-throwing tanks and exotic half-tracks. Elevated terrain, multistory buildings and true line of sight and line of fire affect combat. Battlemaker lets you design battles by choosing the fighting units.

You can play at different levels of difficulty and complexity:

• Single battle
• Operation
• Sector campaign
• Grand campaign
