Title: Almost Perfect
Product review: An improvement over CCIV, CCV-Invasion Normandy is almost the ultimate WWII game. A Close Combat fan from Day 1, I thought CCIII was the best of the three when it came out, with its ability to build the opponent forces (although only for the initial battle). CCIV added the strategic element but eliminated the ability to control the make up of your own battle groups in the campaign scenarios. Invasion Normandy retains the strategic element as well as allowing you to control your opponents forces at the beginning of each engagement. The downside is that you can not build a fantasy group stacked with armour. If you want that, buy CCIII. I would rank the series as follows; III, V, IV, I, II. WWII games I enjoyed the most: Avalon Hill's "Third Reich", and the V for Victory Series, especially "Market Garden" by Atomic Games.
