All good to go?

Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem is a highly enhanced new release of Close Combat, using the latest Close Combat engine with many additional improvements. Its design is based on the critically acclaimed Close Combat – A Bridge Too Far, originally developed by Atomic Games, as well as the more recent Close Combat: The Longest Day. This is the most ambitious and most improved of the new Close Combat releases, but along with all the enhancements it retains the same addicting tactical action found in the original titles! Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!

All good to go?

Post by SapperAstro_MatrixForum »

Been holding off on this one for a long time now.

Just wondering if everything is all ship shape? I let it go due to constantly hearing about issues, so thought I would check back in to see how things are.

I mostly plan on playing the campaign against the AI, from both Allied and Axis perspectives.

There is a beta update available if you've registered with Matrix Games. There will be another update, but it will not be available until after Panthers in the Fog is released.

Well, now that PiTF is out hopefully full steam ahead on the patch to fix the supply/bridge issues.

I am considering getting this one and would also like to know if this is good to go or at least that the proper patch will be released soon.

This game is also on my short list that i'm thinking about getting during the sale. I have fond memories of playing CC2 alot. I play against the AI and am reluctant to buy as i was disappointed in cross of iron and Wacht am Rhein which i purchased a couple of sales ago. Mainly i was disappointed with the mortars and the very fragile infantry, too be fair i haven't reinstalled these games and tried them with the mega update yet so not sure if anything has changed with these games. so is this game worth the trouble with so many other choices out there...honestly.

The last beta patch fixed most bridge repair and supply line issues. Though there are still a couple more issues that they said would be addressed in the final/official patch which should be worked on soon I hope now that PiTF is out (though it will probably need at least 1 patch)....
