Just downloaded the game from steam and it wont even start. Anyone know how to fix it. the first window opens but when I click the play game button nothing happens.

• Fixed case where disbanded unit might not reform at the start of a new Operation. • Increased spotting ability against units with no cover at all. • Slightly increased vehicle spotting ability. • Fixed case where ‘unknown error’ might be improperly reported when logging into multi-player lobby. • .50 caliber machine guns now prefer ball ammo vs. infantry instead of leaving AP loaded and ‘saving ammo.’ • Added support for a flamethrower firing animation, for use by mod makers....

hi legends! As per title I'm wondering if the game is actually enjoyable or it's not worth the hassle. Should I just skip it for something else or should I smash that buy button? thank you for any advice

You already had the golden goose, Close Combat was the king of top down 2D real time historical tactical wargaming, you had that crown, the CC concept is solid and the potential for improvement and development of that concept is limited only by your imaginations. The fact that it's 2D is its strength, it meant you could focus on all the other stuff like depth, the mechanics, the AI, scale, more dynamic campaigns etc. But you just had to ignore what everyone else can see and go down the 3D route, the road ...

Just starting out with the close combat series. I've noticed that vehicles get a hunt command but infantry don't. What's the most effective way to move to contact? Just seems like I have to micro the squads to move then click defend when they see units. Seems a bit micromanagey for a game-sim esk title. How do you guys do it?...
