Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very fun game. But you must find Real Red Mod for it.
Review: 5 stars for fun. 3 stars for game overall.

I believe this is best of the Close Combat series, despite its flaws. Unlike the rest of the Close Combat series, CC3 follows you throughout the entire war. If you are good you can keep your units from Operation Barbarossa in '41 all the way to the fall of Berlin in '45(if they are lucky enough to survive). The more battles your men survive, the better they become at fighting. This feature makes you want to keep your men alive and cheer when they make it, and feel sorry when they meet their demise.

What makes this game even better is the 'Real Red' mod(which you will have to search on the internet for and does not come with the retail version), which allows for more additional units (i.e. Panzer VI and VIe command tanks, Lend-Lease units such as Shermans, Valentines and Crocodiles) and winter camouflage (during winter of course).

Summary: How Much?!
Review: Are we sure that this game is 89$. It only sold for 40 brand new

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I'm still playing this game
Review: I happen to think this is the best of the Close Combat series. I played CC 1 and 2 and I think this is definitely an improvement, more of an evolution really. I tried out CC4 and just thought it was too tank-oriented. What I like best about this game is that it's still a squad-oriented game. Sure, some scenarios are basically tank duels, but the majority of the maps are moving your squads into flanking positions or just waiting for the Germans to get within ambush range of your machine gun nest.

I guess you could complain about the time some scenarios take to run. The maps are big, which helps when you're trying to send a Panzershreck team crawling behind a T-34 for a rear shot without getting close enough to get machine-gunned, but the game can take a loooooooong time and there's no real way to speed it up. Some may get bored but I think it just adds to the tension.

I guess Amazon doesn't sell this anymore but if you can find a copy, buy it! It was worth full price when it was new and I think it's a great deal at [money] now.

Summary: Whoa! Pricey!
Review: Yeah, I took one look at this and I say, "Yeah, right." Well, whatever. I'm buying this game from a friend for 20 bucks.

I tried out the demo and I might say, this game is fun for those RTS gamers like me. The only problem is the AI for the vehicles. You tell one vehicle to move a couple of yards, he goes on a 3 day trek through the enemy lines to move there.

Another bad thing is the weapon strength. A Tiger I should easily destroy a T-34 with one shot; but in this game it takes a couple, and the Tiger I's armor should be strong enough to handle a couple of shots from a Sherman too.

But the infantry AI is outstanding. They really do act like real soldiers; sometimes they think the orders you give are outragous and they won't do it, they surrender if they are surronded, and they panic if they aren't near a commander.

Loved this game to the end!
