US Takes Back Sbiba Town with Punishing Counterattack

So, this is the flip of the last Sbiba Town Game. Notice that I chose 'ELITE' in the SETTINGS (like I did in the previous one) which will provide you with the least number of units. I like it when I can play either side in a custom battle. Next time I play this I'll give the AI an increase in units by selecting green or regular for the opponent. Then again, the game restricts the number of units according to map size anyway. Just play a battle on 'Elite" and hone your fire and maneuver skills. Also, the smaller scale games are faster with less units and makes for less pausing. Micromanagement leads to success in this game.

When I was a little kid, 60 years ago, I loved to have imaginary battles with my shoe box full of plastic army men. This game is 1000 times better than that. Let's hope I don't become jaded to that fact.

@Rayan.Tactical7 I've been playing it on and off since 2019.

Looks interesting. Sounds could be improved though

[@closecombatthebloodyfirst8222]

@shipmcgree6367 I just try to accomplish the mission with the least casualties.

In my opinion it's very similar to the previous ones that I really liked, so what's wrong with this game? Why the mixed reviews?

[@closecombatthebloodyfirst8222]

It's only $40.

[@alexandreguimaraes8366]

@@closecombatthebloodyfirst8222 Apart from the price, is there anything else bad? I ask because from your videos it seems like a good game, but it doesn't seem to have been as well received as the previous ones.

@@alexandreguimaraes8366 I think a lot of Close Combat players are purists for the old 2D games. People complain about the weapon sounds and the fact you can pause the game. I dunno. I like it and that's all that matters to me.

[@closecombatthebloodyfirst8222]

@alexandreguimaraes8366 Then again I only play a couple of games. CCTBF, CCCOI, and Hell Let Loose every now and then.
