About Close Combat 3: The Russian Front
Command a fire brigade of soldiers on the Russian Front in this real-time strategy game set in World War II featuring unequaled detail, realism and scope. Play as either the Soviets or Germans as you orchestrate your squads' attack, defense, and survival over four grueling years of the grandest and bloodiest war the world has ever seen. To succeed, you must guide your man through the moral dangers of war while physically and psychologically defeating your enemies. Your soldiers are counting on you. Don't let them down!
Command the same men throughout the entire four-year campaign - from the initial German invasion of Operation Barbarossa to the pivotal Russian victories at Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, and Berlin. Or rewrite a chapter of the history by rallying your German troops to take Red Square.
Over 300 specialized squads - 100 weapons, 60 soldier types, and 60 distinct vehicles and antitank guns. Including 120 mm mortars, flame-throwers, rocket launchers, half-tracks and off-map heavy artillery barrages.
Manage your squads by resting, refilling, and upgrading them between battles. Follow each soldier as he progresses from green rookies to seasoned veterans and advance in rank to command more units.
Create your own "what if" scenarios with Close Combat III's enhanced Scenario Editor. Craft single or multi-map battles and set deployment zones, objective locations, requisition points, and available units.

- Modeling realistic soldier psychological profiles during combat

Reviewing games I played a long time ago: Didnt play as much as 2 and 4, I dont know what I was doing back in the day but I skipped CC3 for some reason. I only played after 4 and it was quite an experience, the open fields and relative lack of cover on most maps were a challenge. But the highlight for me was lauching volleys of katyusha rockets on the germans. :D Plays really well on the Deck (and any Linux of course), but be sure to: Go to your install folder, and open the CC3.ini file. Change this: PlayVideos=1 to PlayVideos=0 Use launch option in game properties: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw.dll=n,b" %command%4 found this helpful
GOOD GRAPHICS; REALLY GOOD GAME PLAY TAKES ME BACK TO PLAYING THIS AS A KID
I think that this game is the BEST WW2 game of the series. I bought it when it came out originally and I am glad that it made its way to Steam. I have fought the war all the way through as both sides and enjoyed to game. I try to play at least once a week.
Close Combat 3: The Russian Front is one of those strategy titles that serves as both a game and a historical artifact. Originally released during the golden age of PC wargaming and now available on Steam, it revisits the immense struggle between Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II with an emphasis on authenticity rather than spectacle. Developed by Atomic Games and republished by SNEG, the game places players in command of forces across the Eastern Front, covering pivotal years from the German invasion of the Soviet Union to the eventual fall of Berlin. Even decades after its debut, it remains a noteworthy example of how tactical strategy games can create tension through smart design rather than technical flash. The core gameplay revolves around commanding infantry squads, armored vehicles, and support units in real time across a variety of battlefields. Unlike many modern strategy titles that encourage rapid expansion and constant production, Close Combat 3 asks players to think like battlefield commanders. Terrain, morale, visibility, ammunition, and fatigue all play significant roles in determining the outcome of an engagement. Soldiers react dynamically to the co…
