Après discussion avec Ramel, il est apparu que lui et moi avons passé des heures et des heures sur une fameuse série d'un jeu qui n'a presque jamais été évoqué chez les Grognards : Close Combat.
C'est un jeu de tactique militaire seconde guerre mondiale en vue de haut. Le commandant gère grosso modo une compagnie constituée d'un certain nombre d'escouades (infanterie, mortiers, MGs, tanks, etc) et doit capturer ou défendre des objectifs stratégiques sur une carte. Comme sur la série de total war en mp, avant la bataille, on obtient une certaine quantité de points de réquisition pour composer sa compagnie (les choix sont très importants).
- Description de Close Combat en Anglais:
- Close Combat is a real time strategy game that first debuted in 1996. As the commander you control a platoon sized fighting force consisting mainly of types of infantry and and support weapons such as tanks, mortars and anti tank guns. Each of your units has a certain amount of ammunition which they may run out of in close quarter fighting, they will be killed or wounded if hit once, and may experience cowardice, extreme bravery or go fanatical during intense fighting. Morale of your men is the single most driving factor that determines who will survive, and what battles will be won or lost. You can follow your men through campaigns as the progress in rank and experience. Grand campaigns are also available where you take command of up 32 battle groups and deploy them throughout Normandy, Russia, Ardennes and many other pivotal battles. Fight over beaches, mountains, forests and many other geographical features, many historical.
There were hundreds of mods created for most versions. All of these mods are available for download. They have created the ultimate real time gaming experience by expanding Close Combat to virtually every theatre of war during World War II.The original Close Combat games are not sold in stores anymore. You can find them for sale online at places such as EBay or Amazon. Used or new copies are still being sold, even boxed originals. Matrix Games has made the game more available by remaking the originals and selling them online.
Une bataille sur une carte dure entre 10 et 30 minutes selon le paramétrage des joueurs.
Une opération est constituée par 2 à 5 cartes mises bout à bout. L'attaquant doit progresser en capturant l'ensemble des 5 cartes, tandis que le défenseurs doit l'empêcher d'avancer. Il y a un nombre de jours maximum pour finir l'opération. Si l'attaquant échoue à prendre l'ensemble de spoints stratégiques de la dernière map, c'est le défenseur qui gagne.
Une campagne est composée par 2 à 18 opérations.
Le multijoueur se joue en 1v1.
- Close combat 1 se jouait en Normandie
- Close combat 2 en Hollande à l'occasion de l'operation Market Garden
- Close combat 3 en Russie (et c'est certainement le meilleur des opus de la série)
- Close combat 4 autour de Bastogne pour la bataille des Ardennes
- Close combat 5 nous ramenait en Normandie.
De nouveaux opus sont sortis depuis, notamment : - Cross of Iron (qui est en fait Close Combat 3 avec des améliorations graphiques de Close Combat 5 et autre)
- Spoiler:
- Close Combat Cross of Iron recreates the battle for Russia which began in 1942. Cross of Iron is the remake of The Russian Front. The main improvements to this version were to make it more compatible with new operating systems, smaller improvements were also made to the artificial intelligence. CoI offer a linear type campaign system, as you win or lose battles the computer will decide where to send you for your next battle. You can follow your men from 1942 to 1945 while improving their equipment along the way. The greatest improvement was in inclusion of MMCC3 which stands for Massive Multiplayer online Close Combat 3. With MMCC3 you can connect Cross of Iron to a variety of game servers and battle online against the AI or a human opponent for control of the Russian Front. these online campaigns last 24/7, you may take part in the action any time you wish.
A l'origine c'était un jeu sous licence microsoft.
Il existe de très nombreux mods pour cette série.
Il existait une ligue MP à une époque pour close combat 3 sur le mod Real Red.
Voici le site Close Combat Series que je vous conseille de consulter pour y trouver des mods et des packs de cartes faites par les moddeurs.
Personnellement, je souhaiterais vous inviter (et notamment Ramel s'il le souhaite) à procéder à l'installation suivante : Cross of Iron avec le mod Der Ost Front 2
All DOF operations are based on actual historical operations fought in different seasons of WW2. The 41 DOF Campaign Operations use 115 maps including all the original CC3 maps. 36 operations are attacked both ways on 18 map sets. DOF Campaign OPs are ALL 15 day, 5 map Operations. In a DOF style campaign I recently finished playing against a friend, there were over 9,000 dead and wounded and over 400 tanks destroyed in the combined German and Russian losses.

Plugin Version (version 2)
Compatibilty conversion to Cross of Iron by CSO SimTek (December 2006)
=========================================================
Description
Der Ost Front was developed using Real Red as a starting point. Many areas of DOF are moderations to the changes that Real Red made to cc3. For example, Tanks get "tracked" less often than in RR but more often than standard cc3. Similarly the effectiveness of "HE" ammunition is in between that of Real Red and original cc3. There are new graphics added, some from PJ2, Englander, WF and others.
DOF has an balanced mix of historical accurracy and playability.
DOF was primarily designed for those who wants to play big campaigns against their favorite human opponent. DOF has campaign operations for both multiplayer (Z00-Z43) and single player (X00-X40) campaigns.
All DOF operations are based on actual historical operations fought in different seasons of world war 2. The 41 DOF campaign operations use 115 maps including all the original CC3 maps. 36 operations are attacked both ways on 18 map sets. DOF Campaign OPs are ALL 15day, 5 map Operations. In a DOF style campaign I recently finished playing against a friend, there were over 9,000 dead and wounded and over 400 tanks destroyed in the combined German and Russian losses.
Comparitive Historical accuracy in availabilities
Much testing has been done on the effects of the the numbers that determine unit availabilities. Also much research on historical numbers. DOF has the most historically accurate comparitive tank availabilities of any east front mod yet. Availabilities for the super tanks are low. For example, there are 3 TIGER 1s available, an SS Tiger 1, a Wehrmacht Tiger 1 and a Wehrmacht Kommand Tiger 1. They are all set on the lowest availability level(1). The SS Tiger starts in winter 1943, the Wehrmacht in Spring 1943 and the Kommand Tiger at Kursk in summer 1943.
NEW GUNS
There are 2 models of Russian 76.2mm ATG (F22 and ZiS3). There are 5 German infantry field support guns also useful for AT defence (7.5cmIG, 15cm IG, 10.5cm leFH, 12.8cm K40, and the 15cm sFH/43). The Russians also have the 107mm 1910/1930 field gun along with the 122mm and 152mm field guns.
THE TANKS
There are 6 T34s; obr.40, obr.41, obr.42, obr.43, T34/85 and OT.
There are 6 models of PzKpfw IV (D,F,F2.G.H and J)
Also 6 models of PzKpfw III (G,H,J,L,N and the FT)
There are 2 models of the Tiger 1, "E" and "H/E"
(the "H/E" is used exclusively for the Kommand Tiger1)
There are all 3 models of Panther (D, A and G)
All these different models are distinguishable by their graphics
REFITTING
DOF has a few Novel ideas in it, like being able to upgrade your Snipers into Group/Platoon Leaders. Mortar teams can upgrade to either halftracks or AntiTank and field guns. Greater flexibility when refitting units is a major feature of DOF. Not only can you upgrade units, but you can often downgrade them to a cheaper unit when requisition points are low. You will be able to spend every last point. The Russians even have a 1 dollar man lol.
SOUNDS
Probably the best part of DOF is the sound mod. CC3 has never sounded so good. All automatic weapons now have sounds that correspond with the number of rounds actually fired. When a machinegun fires 5 rounds, you will actually hear 5 rounds. Most AT guns not only have quicker loading times than tank guns, but have their own distinctive sound. Yep, you bet! You will know, by the sound, if its a Russian 76mm ATG or IG that is firing from the woods and that its not a T34's or KV's 76 gun. Likewise, you will know that its a 88Flack or PaK43 AT gun and not a Tiger, Jagdpanther or Elefant. But, Aha, the Nashorn's 88, being open topped, sounds like the 88Flack and PaK43! The same can be said for the German 7.5cm and 5cm calibres. The Panther's L/70 gun has a sound distinct from all other German 7.5cm guns.
