Close Combat The Longest Day - Cap De La Hague part 1

Best tactical game made so far. Close Combat in 3D would be the ultimate.

See part 2 for the end of this fight.

Theatre of War 2 - Kursk is I would say a pretty good successor to this series. You can even get a top-down view as in the CC series, makes it feel fairly similar in gameplay even if the UI is a bit different.

What I don't like in ToW2 though is the soldier AI, and they have modeled the german tactical prowess poorly. The Wehrmacht were exceptionally good tactically on the battlefield, while their weakness was in overall strategy because of the inept political leadership and high command.

The Red Army was the exact opposite. Strong in strategic oversight and with sound strategic objectives but tactically inept although they learned the hard way and improved in many respects towards the end of the war. So the war on the eastern front saw two gigantic armies clash which were each others exact opposite. In a way this proves the importance of strategy. You can not win a war without a solid foundation in good strategy no matter how good your troops are.

@Raptor1Delta

You can find them at Matrix Games website and download from there. Yes they run on Vista, it's new releases but unfortunately they did not update the AI as guineapig pointed out below. If you can live with that, game on. :)

I love the game series. Watching it won't do, you have to try it. I always knew this game won't really attract kids since they usually shallow as desert creek. I gave it another chance when I got in my mid-20's and couldn't stop playing it. So far its the only RTS that makes me feel like I actually won something big and important.

@emmthreejonny i own blitzkrieg lol, its a good game and i like it a lot

[emmthreejonny]

@IMCrawford Try a game called Blitzkrieg as well. Its quite a different RTS but it focuses on manuevering units like CC.

@emmthreejonny i was like 9 when i first picked up a bridge too far. I bought it at this old gaming store in my town. Ever since ive loved this game. The detail in this game is awesome, this is the most realistic strategy game i have ever played. I hate most FPS games and most strategy games are dull, and just not very real at all.
