Close Combat – The Longest Day

by J.Zseller
Available from Matrix Games at www.Matrixgames.com

 

This game consists of two parts, the updated enhanced version and the original Close Combat 5, Invasion Normandy.  The game covers the prominent battles of the Allied invasion of Europe beginning on June 6^th through June 9^th, 1944. The Allied powers had promised Stalin that they would invade Europe at the earliest possible date to press the forces of Germany with a Second Front to take some of the pressure off the Russian forces already fighting the Germans for three years. 

Beginning on June 6^th, 1944, nine Allied divisions invaded the Contentin Peninsula on five beaches. The five beaches were the Sword and Gold invaded by the British; Juno invaded by the Canadians; and Utah and Omaha invaded by the Americans. You may start with one of the invasion beaches on June sixth, or chose one of the later battles up to those fought on June ninth. You may also participate in the battles of the airborne forces dropped behind enemy lines the night before the invasion began.
