I too thought CC was coming back to the east! seven games, now eight that are set in the west and only two in the east of which one is almost an exact remake.

I see nothing wrong with 21 teams and yes 64 maps is a waste of time against the AI and too cumbersome . After all these releases and mods , I would like to see real air drops like in CC2 where you could reinforce an out of supply or cut off battlegroup and of course a settled upon map size where the AI will actually attack you .Large maps just don't work and what would be wrong with multiple airstrikes and an end of battle popup screen where you could write your own after battle report , save and of course print !

I suppose the real problem is there are wishers , like me , and doers like the guys who have the ability and the power to do just about anything . Im sure there are many of us who just cant migrate away from COI for this reason as we have the ability to change ( well cheat ) with requisition points and of course CC5 offers real strategic gameplay . But wouldnt it be great ( wishing again ) , to have all these merged into one moddable game where you could reinforce , have 20 or more teams , merge groups , blow bridges , repair bridges , use real air drops , print and save reports and access force pools without  ( Sides are fixed ) .The more mods I see the worse the vehicle graphics have become ( only my opinion ) . Thats why I have spent over two years making a SUPERMOD , where I managed to get all of the best vehicles into one mod and have the same in COI and of course have tried to make maps as well 3D as possible .Like this...

Hi ArmeeGruppeSud

This is probably the wrong place to post this but here they are anyway There are more default allied tanks in it as well but I have sacraficed almost all of the smaller vehicles ( the ones that get knocked out after thirty seconds when a battle starts ). Not for the purists as after my long struggle with x-tank  I felt I deserved the right to name them to whatevrer I liked .  Airstrikes as well and pretty devastating .

Don't know what you think but seeing the comments and the number of posts of some members of their staff on the matrix ans slitherine forum, I think that a new wind is (finaly) blowing on the CC world!!!

Here is the official product description, just posted on Slitherine:


Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog

Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog is the latest release in the critically-acclaimed Close Combat series.  It details the desperate German counter-attack at Mortain, the last chance of the Wehrmacht to stave off defeat in Normandy.  Can you match the tenacity of the American defenders of Hill 314?  Or can you succeed where the Panzers failed, driving through to the sea and changing history?
Play single battles, linked operations, or even the Grand campaign simulating all six crucial days of fighting.  With 35 linked battlefields and historically accurate formations and units, strategic choices are as important as tactical prowess.  New features of long-range interdiction, strategic high ground and adverse weather conditions bring an insight into the challenges faced by those who commanded both sides in this pivotal WW2 battle.
For the Allies the Normandy landings of June were followed by two months of hard fighting in difficult terrain against a tenacious German defense.  But in late July the U.S. Army’s Operation Cobra has finally created a decisive breach in the weakened German line.  Patton’s 3rd Army races through the opening along the western coast of France and into the clear, driving for the Brittany Ports.  Faced with the choice between retreat and last-ditch counter-attack, the Germans struggle to assemble a panzer force for one more charge.  Can the Germans move quickly enough to overcome a desperate situation, push through to Avranches on the French coast, and cut off Patton’s racing spearheads?  Or will the thinly stretched Americans troops screening Patton’s flank be able to hold out, regroup, and hold the vital lifeline open?
