Publisher's description of Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far
Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far is the highly anticipated sequel to Microsoft's 1996 game, Close Combat. In this latest installment, you're in the middle of a nasty squabble for control of five strategic bridges, in a scenario that is based on an actual World War II campaign called Operation Market Garden. As you battle from the Allied or Axis perspective, realistic tactical combat and dynamic battle flow challenge you to outthink your enemy in the war room and on the battlefield. A resource-allocation model strives to make things as true to life as possible, too, rationing your resources and making your soldiers behave physically and mentally just as real troops might, given the circumstances. In addition, a Battlemaker mode is included to answer those "What if..." scenario queries and assist in multiplayer operations.

Version: Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far
"The Best Top-Down, Tactical WWII Game Ever Made!"
Pros: None of the other games in the series played as well as this one. CC2 just had "something" the others didn't. Be warned though, like most AI's this game doesn't provide the challenge you get from another human opponent, so do yourself a favor and find one. You'll soon understand why there is STILL a fervent following of this game--because it was that good!
Cons: Occasionally, the AI will go screwy. Tanks will get caught on buildings and such. However, it still doesn't take away from the awesome game play of this game.
