Close Combat - Panthers in the Fog
Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog depicts the desperate German counteroffensive at Mortain, the Wehrmacht’s last chance to stave off defeat in Normandy.
Can you match the tenacity of the American defenders of Hill 314? Or can you do where the Tigers failed by crossing the sea and changing history?
Play single battles, combined operations, or even grand campaigns simulating six crucial days of combat. With 35 interconnected battlefields and historically compatible formations and units, strategic choices are just as important as tactical capabilities. New features for long-range slowdown, areas of strategic advantage, and adverse weather conditions give a taste of the challenges faced by commanders on both sides of the conflict in this pivotal battle of World War II.
Command your troops at a strategic level by giving orders to attack or defend battalions or regimental sized units, and allocate air or artillery support. Then check the results in a highly detailed real-time tactical combat simulation. The outcome of the battle will determine who will control each area and where they can move on a strategic level.
