Hi all, just thought I'd let you know about a new multiplayer network I've created for playing the Close Combat series online called GameRanger. The actual list is:
Close Combat I
Close Combat I Demo
Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far
Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far Demo
Close Combat III: The Russian Front
Close Combat III: The Russian Front Demo
Close Combat IV: Battle of the Bulge
Close Combat IV: Battle of the Bulge Demo
Close Combat V: Invasion Normandy
Close Combat V: Invasion Normandy Demo
Close Combat: Cross of Iron
Close Combat: Modern Tactics
Basically, GameRanger makes it quick and easy to play your friends online.
It has full lobby support for over 500 different games and demos (including the Close Combat series, of course), without the hassles and headaches that usually happen with network connections (eg. routers & firewalls).
I'm really excited to be releasing it, and hope it helps boost the CCS community by allowing people to play that were unable to until now due to problems with opening ports, etc. The more barriers that can be removed, the more likely the community will stay strong, as new users won't be put off. You should find this far simpler than the other *****bersome methods you have been forced to use.
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!
