This game is quickly becoming one of my favorite RTT games. I love Combat Mission and I have dabbled in Close Combat but for some reason this game made by a single dude hits harder than both. The only thing I dislike about this game is the sound effects and I quickly fixed that with some file changes. If you love Close Combat and Combat Mission, give this a try.
