Close Combat - Modern Tactics

[Bob the Insane]

While going through Lord Zimoa's thread here I noted this:

Any one else heard anything about it? The screenies look just like the old close combat we know and love...

A bit more searching found:

A new close combat? Owwww yes, and OH YES to 2d graphics.

What he said.

[Are there any new features? Or any other new games, even?
Was only aware of Cross of Iron. Recently re-installed CC5 to
play Ebro.]

FYI, the same company (Matrix Games) did a re-release of CC3 last year with many improvements.

Got it and tried it...

Good fun, it is just like classic CC with deadlier weapons...

The enemy AI is very quick to call in airstrikes on your vehicles...

Shame there is no campaign, just 25(ish) missions and an editor...

A campaign could improve it greatly. I found the airstrikes are ridiculously
powerful in comparison to the older games, but that is the reality of it, of
course. Not in favour of mixing generic Russian troops in with 'insurgents',
or supposed rebel American forces.

Will continue playing the Ebro mod for now.
