Mission Briefing
Close Combat is a World War II tactical level simulation, where you are the battlefield commander, not some armchair general sitting way behind the front lines. You are there. Close Combat puts you into the middle of the action as no game has before. As the battle field commander, you control teams of men, but make no mistake, these are real men. Each soldier is not only modelled to his offensive and defensive capabilities, but his psyche is depicted as well. Too much battle stress and your troops will be less responsive to your orders. Close Combat has the superb graphics with the attention to historical detail that Atomic is famous for. All of these elements are augmented by a user interface that is simple and requires almost no learning curve to get started. As Commander, you can tell your teams to move, move fast, fire, fire smoke, defend and hide, using an intuitive drag-and-drop style interface.
Reconnaissance reports from the field show that not only does the enemy greatly outnumber our forces, but they also have really big guns. Think you got what it takes? You probably don't. But that won't stop you from trying, will it?
