From the top

Close Combat 1 - The Original - by Microsoft

Close Combat 2 - A Bridge Too Far - by Microsoft -

7th RTS of all the time by Gamespot

Close Combat 3 - The Russian Front - by Microsoft

Close Combat 4 - Battle Of the bulge - by SSI

Close Combat 5 - Invasion Normand - by SSI

Close Combat I opened a new era for WW2 RTS - realistic, impressive, immersive.

CC2 was even more immersive, better, amazing, CC3 as well.

CC4 and CC5 were designed by SSI and they are great, but IMHO a bit worse then Microsoft's original Trilogy.

I've just installed the games and am enjoying CC2, one of the best games ever.

Much, much better then Rome TW

S!

Mercenaries / Wildfire 2 spring to mind - use to love the x-com series also, those type of game really rule and are timeless... like chess ^_^

I found a website from which you can download Close Combat 2 for free, all legitimate and stuff...

http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The download link is on the right-hand side of the page in the 'CC2 Quick Start' box.

I downloaded it the other day on my laptop and installed a Microsoft Virtual CD Drive thing to mount the .iso image but it didn't work so I'm in the process of burning a copy onto CD. Feckin' CD burner is acting up now too though!

Hope you didn't install Starforce copy protection. I've been hearing it fries LG drives.

Well of course when the weather was good I was outside pretending to shoot people and blow things up!But Close Combat was good for those rainy days when the soldiers mum wouldn't let him go to war in case he got a cold
