Book Review: Needs a new photo editor!
Summary: 3 Stars
The TEXT in this book is pretty good but the pictures provide little/no information. They are too dark, the captions do not clarify what they are attempting to display and the black and white format make it near impossible to see anything to begin with! Other than that, the text supplies sound strategies and it has proven to be helpful.
Summary of Close Combat 3 Official Strategies & Secrets
Close Combat 3 is the third in the highly successful and critically acclaimed series of World War II-based real-time strategy games published by Microsoft and developed by Atomic Games. In CC3, players take on the role of either the Soviets or the Germans on the Russian Front as they orchestrate their squads' attack, defense, and survival over four years of brutal combat.Though it wins the "worst cover design of the year" award by a mile, Close Combat III from Microsoft is an outstanding real-time war game of squad-level combat in World War II. This top-shelf guide from Sybex (though cursed with the same lousy cover art) can help novices and veterans alike with the many intricacies of gameplay and the challenging historical missions, operations, and campaigns the game provides. You'll find plenty of information to help you master the arts of troop deployment and morale management. The book also provides detailed (but open-ended) guidelines for fighting and winning each battle from both sides of the map (German and Russian). Extensive tables at the back of the book provide hard data on tanks, artillery and handheld weapons, while a well-written section on multiplayer combat can help you get a leg up on your human opponents. Throughout the book, large, detailed, and often well-annotated screen shots help illustrate key strategies and mission elements. Basically, this is a quality guide to a quality game. If you plan to wage a little war along the Russian Front, make sure you have this battle manual handy.
