A new MMCC3 campaign has been started, Bloody Omaha. If you are new to MMCC3 let me explain. First of all you need to have Cross of Iron installed. MMCC3 stands for Massively Multiplayer Close Combat. A strategic map is shown divided into many squares, each square represents a map. Many gamers will be fighting the campaign at the same time, either versus other players or the AI. You can select any map along the front line and choose to attack it, you can also select to defend other maps where an opponent is waiting for a real player. Thats the main idea, now lets get into Bloody Omaha....
There are two multiplayer campaigns ongoing now. The first one has been started by Davidssfx for The Longest Day. Already half way through the Germans have been pushed back against the wall, not giving up the fight though they have inflicted heavy losses to the Allies. Joining this campaign is simple, post your intentions in the AAR Thread and make sure you read the rules. You will need the OnGroundFX sound mod to play.
The second Campaign takes place in the Ardennes with Wacht Am Rhein. This is a public stock GC vs AI, where the public plays the Germans. The intention of this campaign is to demolish the AI and push the Allies back to the wall in the fastest possible way. It has just beed started. To join, simple play a couple games and post the file back to the forums with a short AAR. Visit the AAR Thread, read the rules and help continue the campaign!
January 2nd, 2010 Hamachi meet with Close Combat Modern Tactics
Do you have Close Combat Modern Tactics installed? If you do, then report to Hamachi on January 2nd for some multiplayer games. The network name is "Close Combat Modern Tactics" and the password is "ccs" (both are case sensitive). We hope to attract enough players for some 2vs2 or 5vs5 player games. If the games are successful, watch for the replays to be posted soon after.
Everyone is welcome to host their own games. MOOXE will be hosting a 3vs3 scenario at 2000hrs (GMT -0500hrs) on IP 5.69.45.152. The scenario will be a UK platoon cornered in a small hamlet. Three large enemy platoons are bearing down with heavy weapons, mechanized infantry and tanks. The calvary deploys to the west with heavy assault weapons, infantry fighting vehicles and M1A1 tanks. The goal for the Allies is to rescue the UK platoon, while the enemy must destroy the platoon and take over and hold the houses.
Allied Platoon 1
Allied Platoon 2
Surrounded UK Platoon
- No support for either team
- 10 minute setup time
- 30 minute battle
- Force morale off
- Locked battlegroups
This heavily mechanized platoon starts in the NW corner of the map. It has the longest distance to cover over the most difficult terrain.
A highly mobile platoon. It is suggested that you mount as much infantry as you can to get moving quickly.
The beleaguered British platoon. You have some heavy weapons, no vehicles but lots of AT missiles.
Enemy Platoon 1
Enemy Platoon 2
Enemy Platoon 3
Regular infantry starting in the NE corner. They bring heavy machine guns and more AT missile sections.
This platoon deploys in the mountain pass. They expect an armour breakthrough and have deployed many AT missile sections. 120mm mortars are also available.
Your heavy tanks deploy on the ridge facing the Brits. If all goes well they should be able to pulverize the Brits and turn to face the Allied armour assault.
Make sure you open up ports 47624 and the range 2300-2400 for both TCP and UDP.
For a multiplayer CCMT game to work properly you must not disconnect during the game or alt-tab out at any point. You can only leave the game once everyone is satisfied in the debrief screen and the replay has been saved. Ensure you have patch version 2007.12.12.1 installed.
The October 3rd Hamachi Multiplayer Meet was a great success. Thanks to all who joined, played and helped others play. We seen a steady following of about 10-15 players online most of the day, with many players returning day after day as the week passed. Many of them new names.
To keep Hamachi flowing smoothly I would like to pass on some instructions on how to play.
Include what versions you play in your name, ie; MOOXE CC5+GJS/CoI/TLD
Make sure you Leave Network instead of just closing.
Join only one network at a time. There is only room for 48 people maximum, joining multiple networks and not leaving properly stops new players from joining.
Hamachi does not connect Close Combat for you. You must go into the multiplayer tab within the game and select either TCP or UDP game. The hosts IP is shown in Hamachi, it begins with the number 5 in all cases. Enter the IP just as you would normally. Right clicking the user name gives you the option to copy address into memory.
If you wish to use a different application to connect with your opponents you need to close Hamachi and disable the network interface. Click START/Control Panel/Network Connections. Refer to image on the left. Right click the Hamachi Network Interface and select disable. Now you can play again using Gamespy, Gameranger or manually connecting. You will not be able to use Hamachi until you enable re-enable the network adapter.
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!
