An improvement over CCIV, CCV-Invasion Normandy is almost the ultimate WWII game. A Close Combat fan from Day 1, I thought CCIII was the best of the three when it came out, with its ability to build the opponent forces (although only for the initial battle). CCIV added the strategic element but eliminated the ability to control the make up of your own battle groups in the campaign scenarios. Invasion Normandy retains the strategic element as well as allowing you to control your opponents forces at the beginning of each engagement. The downside is that you can not build a fantasy group stacked with armour. If you want that, buy CCIII. I would rank the series as follows; III, V, IV, I, II. WWII games I enjoyed the most: Avalon Hill's "Third Reich", and the V for Victory Series, especially "Market Garden" by Atomic Games.
Careful!

Close Combat 4 was a huge disappointment! Careful with this one!
A Great Planning and Strategy Game

I received Close Combat Invasion Normandy several days ago and I have long anticipated this game. As many of the Amazon.Com reviews state, it is a a fairly complicated piece of software. I've only been playing the battles so far and I haven't tried the campaigns yet (Free time is a precious commodity) but, I am very pleased with the graphics and the battle sounds are excellent. You often hear distant shells and gunfire which gives the player that feeling of imminent danger through the next hedgerow or village. The game is also very versatile and you can play it as a novice or an expert. I don't believe I will master this one overnight!
one of the best

This is a great World War II simulator. There are definitely some bugs in this game and I would highly recommend going to the net for fixes. This Game has better computer intelligence than Close Combat 4 but human players are far superior. the other great advantages game has is the large community of programmers that have written additional scenarios for this game. You can do battle since Stalingrad, Africa, Berlin, etc. You need to purchase this game to be able to access the free extras but if you're into strategy games this is a great time waster.
