Pop!
More Slitherine games is always a good thing. Although I admit I'm still waiting for Legion Gold to arrive here one day :P

Hehe, I wish Legion Arena would get here too :D
i found close combat a bit troubling to get into, how would this one be rated when compared with gateway to caen?

All CC-games have similar base game mechanics.
So if you don't like 'Gateway to Caen' - you don't like this one too.

Close Combat: Wacht am Rhein (2008) is a remake of Close Combat IV: Battle of the Bulge (1999)
Thank you very much for including the multiplayer instructions on the gamepage.

Thanks!
I already own this game directly from Slitherine. What frustrates me is that I can get a free Steam key from Slitherine for most of my CC games but GOG keys are not offered. I guess this is likely a Slitherine decision, but frustrating nevertheless. More so when I see both Slitherine and GOG having concurrent sales and the game is cheaper on Slitherine and Steam compared to GOG.

It's the "DRM-free Tax", which one has to pay for buying here :P
