How it feels

A tense and deliberate wargame where every soldier's psychological profile matters as you manage your teams with historical authenticity.

What players say

Players call this a slow, thoughtful tactical war game that rewards patience. Many say it is a faithful update of the original Close Combat: Invasion Normandy with improved AI and animations, but several note the multiplayer community is effectively dead and the AI is not very challenging.
