Some things never change...

Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog is the first new release (not a re-make of a previous games) in years in the critically acclaimed Close Combat series. It details the desperate German counter-attack at Mortain, the last chance of the Wehrmacht to stave off defeat in Normandy. Can you match the tenacity of the American defenders of Hill 314? Or can you succeed where the Panzers failed, driving through to the sea and changing history? Improved 32-bit graphics and the ability to control more squads than ever bring the Close Combat engine to a new level.

Some things never change...

Post by MikeAP »

I've been playing the Close Combat series since we dropped into Holland and tried to seize some bridges...

As old as this series is, there are things in this game that elicit intense emotion. Events that give you a high of extreme victory, or lows of utter defeat. You can face a full spectrum of emotions all in the matter of minutes.

I just bought PiTF yesterday, but already I've felt the elation of returning back to a familiar battlefield several times.

The highs of seeing a friendly air strike score a direct hit on a Stug, as my Shermans plow through the countryside mowing down German infantrymen along their way.

Or extreme lows of losing an entire tank platoon in a matter of seconds, as German panzerfaust teams make mince meat of my armored formations.

I'm glad the developers were able to capture the same psychological aspect that the CC series has done so well with.
