Close Combat: The Bloody First is a real-time tactical wargame that brings the long-running Close Combat series into a fully 3D engine for the first time. The game follows the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division, famously known as “The Big Red One,” through World War II campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, and Normandy. It retains the tactical depth and realism the series is known for while introducing new visual fidelity and expanded strategic options.
