Close Combat: The Longest Day

fond childhood memories with dad

I thought first this game is unplayable with a modern computer because playing with high resolution makes units look really small, but a workaround is to set the game resolution to maximum and to decrease the monitor resolution a little bit from the one that you have normally. I used to love these games but now I am just mostly annoyed but them, many annoying things and game mechanics. Let me start: -Game can be expensive af. I have bought this and the other games in the series when they are in a special discount. Sometimes it is worth checking the Matrix Games/Slitherine store for these, they can be much cheaper there than normally. I think I got mine for about 5€ with a discount and a coupon combo. -Game doesn't get any updates anymore and hasn't got an update for years now. Also non-existing playerbase if you want to play online instead of the crappy AI. Mods are not hosted in a website anymore and there is no game workshop but you can find a google drive upload with the mods. Installing them can be difficult, though. -AI is really bad, often just running across the fields and in predictable locations so you can easily defeat them even with 10 times smaller force by just gunni…

Best OG combat game ever. Never gets old, so hard to win since its real unit size and types and real time.

Awesome

Updated old classic. Still plays well. A lot of content from individual battles to operations to full campaigns.

Loved this game since it was first released. Wish there was a multiplayer community though, miss the challenge of playing against a real person, much harder.
