Yes it does include Commonwealth forces.  British, Canadian and French Commando teams.  Dixie's last post is correct in that you can now play all three sectors TOGETHER in one grand campaign.  So if you're particularly talented CC'er you could conceivably link up all your forces from Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.  The allies had the bar set pretty high in setting that goal and you'll find this is no different.  Many maps from the GJS mod were utilized in the Commonwealth sector of the TLD GC (with permission from Cathartes one of the mod creators)  as well as many maps from the Bloody Omaha mod (permission from Dom - it's mod creator) for the Omaha sector.  We've also created roughly 20 new maps as well as improved the coding of all 64.


Jesus, I am sold. My wallet is out as soon as this puppy hits the stands. Well done boys.

Sounds intriguing - I've never played any of the Close Combat game. I tried the demo of the very first one I thin it was. I had a hard time with getting it to work on my system and got very frustrated so didn't pursue it -

But that was years ago. The maps in the screen shots for Longest Day look nice and it sounds like there is a campaign feature now - this does look tempting.

I'll have to follow this up and see how it looks in it's discusion forum.

Thanks!
Rick

Hello Rick,

There are campaigns for all the Close Combat games.

It has a string of single battles tied together with a narrative.

But

Cross of Iron
Wacht am Rhein
and now The Longest Day

All have compelling campaign modes.

This looks great.

Status: offline 		Matrix policy of late is to release the hardcopy and digital download at the same time.

This was recently "changed" for the release of Crown of Glory Emperors Edition, but only that once becuase Empire Total War was being released...so short answer is (AFAIK) yes.
