I am new here, but do we raly know that this is going to happen at all?

I find very little information about it, and total secrecy is a bit weird as a marketing strategy

Yeah, it's not like it's a massive game.

Acording to the Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Combat_series

Close Combat (V): Re-Release (2008) - The re-release of Close Combat 5 is scheduled for this year sometime. Information is very limited but we do know many of the bugs are being looked into and possibly Battle of the Bulge and some mods may be included. This version is currently undergoing beta testing.

# Close Combat (VI) or Close Assault - Currently in the early planning phase with no release date known. The game is being developed by S3T, a subsidiary of Matrix Games formerly known as CSO Simtek.

Wikipedia entries are written by whoever care to write about the issue. Whoever wrote the Close Combat entry is likely to be a fan of the series, or at least fans of the series is likely to add to the entry.

That sentence may very well be based on rumors from sites like this. And since that Wikipedia page is the ONLY reference to the re-release I have found outside of this site, I started to wonder.

I like the look of an Italian campaign

Attack, counter attack... nice range of weapons systems, varied terrain, multi-national.

Tack that was my edit. The information is from a conversation with David Heath.

I really can't wait for the re-release. I used to play CCV religiously almost everyday. I can only hope GJS will be available for it.

Will it be as good as the versions here though?

Matrix Games isn't EA, (thankfully), and publish games for a very niche audience. As a result, it's in their and their studio's best interest to publish the game with as much quality as they can. They literally can't afford bad press or reviews. With that in mind, and the fact that I have yet to see Matrix publish a complete lemon of a game( basically, no amount of patching will help), I have high hopes for the remakes and any new games of the series.

Very nice. I missed 4 and 5 as I didn't know they existed. So folks like me look forward to them.
