Title: Close Combat: The Longest Day
Post by: TheFjordFox on February 19, 2022, 07:13:03 AM
Hello again!

So, as I've stated in a previous thread; I am a seasoned veteran of the CC franchise, and have about 25 years of experience with them. Picked up my first CC game in the 90s, when I got a hold of the CC2 demo off a CD from a gaming magazine. Was amazed then, and love the games still! Currently I'm on a mission to play through all CC games with both factions in the grand campaigns of the respective games. I will be putting them all up on youtube, in due time. It's just something I've wanted to do for a while, and at some point I decided "you know what? I'm just gonna do it!" - and so here we are! Prior to this playthrough, I have also finished with both sides in Cross of Iron and Last Stand Arnhem. More to come in the future!

However!

Here's the links to the first episodes in each playthrough: (I'll edit in the German one once I finish the Allied playthrough.)



Hope some of y'all can get something out of it. Have a good one!

I'm happy to hear you say that :)

I don't wish to be spammy/intrusive, but I'm happy to share my videos here from time to time with people that might be interested in them! :)

And on that note - I am now working my way through the German campaign. And I gotta tell ya... this one hits different. Some nice battles to be had, for sure, but also a lot of frustrations to be had in regards to shortcoming of the game that become very clear when playing as the Germans.

Either way, here's the first video of it;



Have a good one, y'all! :)

Agree, always looking for a reason to open up a Close Combat title from my library.

Perhaps some time in the future :) I'm very focused on the vanilla vs. AI experience at the moment with these games anyway, but I would love to challenge myself against opponents with an actual brain that doesn't suffer from horrible programming when I'm done with my project! :)

Happy to hear, and I can certainly relate to that statement! :P


I would also like to thank al_infierno and Gusington, among others, for making me feel welcome and at home here. I truly do appreciate it! :)
