Is it possible to play a H2H game (With LAN connection), without having a internet connection?
I can't find anything about in in the manual.

Yes, Close Combat: Last Stand Arnhem and earlier releases allowed LAN play.

It is only the last release Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog which forces players to connect to the internet.

To play a LAN game go to the Multiplayer screen choose either 'Internet TCP' or 'Internet UDP' then choose to 'Host a Game'. This will then allow you to select the battle settings and displays your IP address (which you can give to your opponent if req'd). Your opponent needs to choose the same protocol TCP or UDP and then can search for games on the LAN which should find your game which is waiting to host a game.

Edit: Windows 7 & 8 have a built in Firewall which will pop up when you try to play multiplayer Internet or LAN and you need to 'allow access' for the game to communicate.

Most people play over the internet which is probably why they put the word internet their but those protocols do work on a LAN. A LAN game is easier today than an Internet game because of Firwalls and Routers which is why they tried to make it easier in Panther in the Fog by going through their server but unfortunately means you must have an internet connection and if they shutdown the server we're no longer able to play H2H....
