GWTC will be availble on steam on 6th june

Close Combat: Gateway to Caen is the latest release in the critically-acclaimed Close Combat series and focuses on the largest, concentrated British offensive since the Normandy landings in an attempt to penetrate the German lines west of Caen and cross the Odon River to get the stalled advance moving again.

WOW.. considering Slitherine where so anti Steam at one point this is a big turn around. A good game for Steam I reckon considering it's past history. I expect some old CC players have no idea later ones have been made\remade.

Agreed. This was definitely a good move.

The main thing for me is I can record how many hours I'm playing Close Combat (far too many probably!)

Does this mean it is not going to be a boxed version?

Great news. I hope that multi-player will be the big winner with this innovation.

If anyone who hasn't joined the Close Combat multiplayer Steam group already, this is a good opportunity to do so! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/CCFanaticsM

We've got about 25 players on it already. Most of my multiplayer matches now come from this group, so Steam is effective

I've joined. AggonyTinkerbell is my handle, which is the clan name I have for the Creative Assembly TW titles.

Looking forward to getting some games together.

I'm in London.

Can't wait for this game, Gateway to Caen. The last of the engine! It's been a long run for this series but it will come back as The Bloody First; a 3D version of Close Combat. Let's hope that GTC serves the series proud.

I agree with you though since CGGrognard CCIII "Le Front Russe" and Cross Of Iron, i think the gameplay is interesting to me from the graphics and visual effects (explosions, trees etc ...). I liked the number of troops and equipment available in the first series and changes thereof during the course of the war. But with these new series, troops and equipment used in the game are little variety and time of the battle remains limited in this evolution. cordially

I will buy this game, definitely.

But there are too many open fields and I think it is difficult for solders to hide and move. According to history, tanks will play the main role...
