Hi,
1) Regarding CC2, Throw the CD in the closest dustbin, it is the best you can do.
2) Regarding CC3/4/5, go to any site like EBAY, PriceMinister and some others and buy for a penny a Win98 installed PC. And have fun
There are quite a few references to Linux on this forum if you search for them but nobody, to my knowledge, has written a step-by-step guide to the installation of Close Combat on VMWare (and I haven't gotten around to trying it yet).
You still having to switch back to windows Talorgan?
If you want we could try and get a team together to work on it.
Pipe dreams really, but one has to dream. Otherwise the suicide rates would be enormous (more enormous I should say).
The first decision would probably need to be which CC version to work on to work on.
I have Ubuntu running on the-machine-in-the-corner. I haven't tried VMWare yet because it is more important that I add the U-box to the network (for non-gaming purposes). I almost cracked it with this guide:
Not sure we need a team (although I should probably give you a bell next time I'm coming to the big smoke). Pretty sure too that once cracked, VMWare will cater to all versions of the game.

In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
