Close Combat III: The Russian Front is a real-time strategy game set on the Eastern Front of World War II. You command squads as either the Soviets or Germans, directing their attacks, defenses and survival across a four-year campaign while managing the human and physical dangers of war.

Lead the same soldiers from the German invasion of Operation Barbarossa through the battles for Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk and Berlin. You can also change the course of history by leading German troops toward taking Red Square.

Between battles, you rest, refill and upgrade your squads. Soldiers progress from green rookies to seasoned veterans, while promotions let them command more units. Their psychological profiles, abilities, strength and morale affect how they perform in combat.
