From Matrix Games: In Close Combat: Cross of Iron, you can take command of German or Soviet Battle Groups during WWII as you face the strength of the enemy war machine. The extensive and immersive Grand Campaign mode will give you both the original Close Combat and all new battles and operations that will test your tactical mettle. Start as a junior officer leading your men into battle in real time. As your knack for tactical brilliance and taste for glory grows stronger, earn promotions and get a larger number of forces at your disposal.
