So i just noticed Close Combat is now on gog.com. The titles bridge too far, russian front, and battle of the bulge are among them. I would like to know if there is any difference between those older versions and the new matrix games iterations

I would also like to know if the are the same versions as on the Matrix/Slitherine websites.

IainMcNeil:We'll have more games on GoG soon but they need to be selective to avoid overloading you! We have 300 strategy and wargames in our line up and release ~3 new releases a month.

I guess we have to be a little patient, but these are exciting news! I have the feeling that GOG will offer some of these games at a good discount.

They're also selling some of the new games. The prices do not vary between sites, unless we run a specific promotion which is site specific, but the standard price is always the same on Matrix, Steam, GoG etc.

The Close Combat games temporarily available at a discount from GOG are:

Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far (Developed by Atomic Games) - $5.39 U.S.
Close Combat 3: The Russian Front (Developed by Atomic Games) - $5.39 U.S.
Close Combat 4: The Battle of the Bulge (Developed by Atomic Games) - $5.39 U.S.
Close Combat: Gateway to Caen (Developed by Slitherine) - $13.99 U.S.
Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog (Developed by Matrix Games) - $13.99 U.S.

It's too bad the original Close Combat is missing from the collection.

Very good move sir, we all appreciate this. I think everyone benefits. Keep up the good work!

Agreed. That's on the top of my list to buy next. I do have the original.
