> The sequel to Microsoft's Close Combat, Close Combat: A Bridge Too
> Far continues the World War II theme by recreating the events around
> the ill-fated Operation Market Garden. Players can choose to play a
> single battle or an entire campaign. A resource allocation model
> allows players to decide when to reinforce or rest their troops and
> offers the capability to add new weapons and units.
>
> The game contains 130 realistically modeled infantrymen and
> vehicles, including assault units, flame-throwing tanks and half
> tracks. Players may choose various levels of difficulty and may play
> as either the Axis or Allied powers.
>
> Combat takes place on a two-dimensional map with three-dimensional
> terrain elements. Depending on the map, terrain features can include
> a variety of features providing concealment and cover, such as
> hills, hedges, foxholes, trenches, streams and buildings. Units have
> limited fields of vision (particularly vehicles), suffer from
> fatigue, have limited ammunition, can be suppressed, will break and
> flee if their morale drops too low, and generally behave in a manner
> similar to real life (although there are options to make units
> always visible, always obey orders, and/or fearless).
>
> The units used in the game vary, but are nonetheless divided into
> two categories: infantry, and support. The infantry category
> contains most infantry units, such as rifle infantry, scouts,
> snipers, MG42 machine gunners (for the German side), antitank
> infantry (for the Allied side), heavy assault teams, and reserves.
> More specialized infantry teams such as flamethrower engineers,
> mortar teams and machine gun teams are placed in the support
> category, as are vehicles (including halftracks, armored cars,
> tanks, tank destroyers and assault guns) and fixed guns.
