Close Combat 5: Invasion: Normandy - Utah Beach to Cherbourg

This is exactly Close Combat 5, no modification or improvement. It's great to have the CC games on Steam, and it's as good as I remember. Tremendous feeling of actually leading guys into battle! Edit: I should also mention that this game is running great on Win10, which has been a problem with some versions in the past. No need for a VM or even compatibility settings!

Old but gold

Edit : The developers fixed the constant crash issues. I am now giving a thumbs up. Previous review was a thumb down. This is the best Close Combat title amongst all of them, imo. Unfortunately it keeps crashing during battle so I cant personally recommend it.

Loved this game back in the day. A bridge too far. Main problem with this one is that it is too easy. Weird way of selecting difficulty level and even once you figure that out, still not hard enough. Not fun if you win all the time.

I recently purchased Close Combat 1-5. I wanted to relive some childhood memories. Regrettably, these games were unplayable. Not due to aged affects, poor performance, or graphics. Literally just unplayable. I tried to load up 3 and it instantly crashed. 4 lasted 7 minutes before it was done. 5 was a mixture of both. So sad, that I cannot replay these. If they fixed it I would love to revisit. Good luck out there, everyone.

Es ist ja in Ordnung alte Spiele wieder zu bringen, aber sie sollten nicht auf modernen Systemen ständig abstürzen. Vor allem wenn man angibt, dass sie darauf laufen.

After the recent update the game works flawlessly! Thanks!! ---- Original Review: I've been waiting eagerly for this Steam release. In my opinion, CC5 is the best of the Close Combat series games and CC is the best of the old school squad leader style games. I really love this game from previous play but unfortunately this Steam release crashes to disk whenever I extend the fire line from a mortar or gun to the edge of the window. Since this is a real-time game without the ability to save the game state, that makes this release basically unplayable until it is fixed. That makes me sad but hopeful someone will take the time to put out a stable release.

This by far my favorite Atomic Games version of Close combat. I've played just about every version since the first one came out in the middle 90s (and I still play them). I like the interface, the terrain, the look of the units, everything. I'd prefer it if the tank drivers didn't neutral steer at every opportunity, but it appears to me that there isn't a single developer that does not take the Infantry insult DATS (Dumb ass Tankers) as gospel.
