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.



Andrew Williams -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/27/2009 1:08:01 PM)

Close Combat Modern Tactics doesn't have a campaign mode strictly speaking.

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.

JudgeDredd -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/27/2009 8:42:11 PM)

Now that sounds like how you remake a game! Sounds very good.



JudgeDredd -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/27/2009 9:25:47 PM)

Is this coming out on Wdnesday did you say? I think this is probably a defo purchase for me. I never owned the original and I am due money for a game this month. [:D]



Tomus -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/28/2009 8:10:50 AM)

Will the hardcopy version be available on Wednesday as well? I love D-Day stuff my favourite WWII campaign by far. 

This looks great.



JudgeDredd -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/28/2009 8:18:15 AM)

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.



Erik Rutins -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/28/2009 1:39:05 PM)

Yes, the boxed copy should be available at the same time as the download for this release.



JudgeDredd -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/28/2009 2:53:41 PM)

so is this being released tomorrow Erik? All things equal?



Erik Rutins -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/28/2009 3:53:26 PM)

That's the plan! Assuming there are no last minute hiccups...



PunkReaper -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/28/2009 5:15:47 PM)

Is it not possible to have more warning of new releases. Anticipation is half the enjoyment.....[;)]



JudgeDredd -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/28/2009 5:29:00 PM)

Oh I quite liked this surprise.

Still looking forward to CC2 though!



LitFuel -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/28/2009 11:47:27 PM)

Looks good!  I will chime in as well on CC2...that will be the one I do back flips over but this would be my second choice after that.



JudgeDredd -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/29/2009 12:54:04 PM)

Come on Matrix...got ma wallet ready [;)]



Tomus -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/29/2009 2:18:14 PM)

Money wants to be spent!



benpark -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/29/2009 2:43:35 PM)

Will Manoi's Stalingrad mod work with the new version?

Lützow -> RE: Close Combat, the Longest Day? (4/29/2009 7:40:38 PM)

No hurry, I just purchased WbtS at Blitzkrieg Sale. So you could as well postpone CC5 release for a few weeks. [:D]
