Close Combat: Modern Tactics

Close Combat: Modern Tactics is a pausable real-time wargame in which you command teams in modern combat. Manage your soldiers carefully: their psychological profiles affect how they perform, and every member of a team matters. Battles take place on hand-drawn maps ranging from 1 km square to 4 km by 1 km, across hypothetical settings from backwoods America to the streets of Iraq and former Soviet republics.

Command your forces

Use modern weapons and equipment, including specialized squads, weapons and soldier types. You can mount and dismount specialized vehicles, protect your troops in buildings, bunkers and trenches, and call in close air support, aircraft and artillery. Support can come from direct and indirect fire, but you must secure the final objective through close combat.

Scenarios and multiplayer

The game includes 25 scenarios based on real-world and hypothetical conflicts. You can also use the scenario editor to set up battles between modern opposing forces. Multiplayer supports up to five players on each side.

Tactical warfare

Based on Close Combat Marines, a training simulator used by the United States Marine Corps, the game models modern equipment and the challenges of tactical warfare. It is designed to be easily moddable.
