Close Combat - Last Stand Arnhem

New trailer sets the 'dramatic stage' for Operation Market Garden.

Staten Island, NY, July 15th, 2010 – Matrix Games ( www.matrixgames.com), Black Hand Studios, and Strategy 3 Tactics are pleased to release a new trailer for Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem! The new trailer offers historical context along with some gameplay footage for the new remake of the classic Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “This new trailer sets the dramatic stage for Operation Market Garden with a touch of comedy and plenty of intense gameplay from Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem. This remake of A Bridge Too Far has been anticipated for quite some time now and we’re proud to deliver!”

Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem is a highly enhanced new release of Close Combat, using the latest Close Combat engine with many additional improvements. Its design is based on the critically acclaimed Close Combat – A Bridge Too Far, originally developed by Atomic Games, as well as the more recent Close Combat: The Longest Day. This is the most ambitious and most improved of the new Close Combat releases.

As the Allies, you will carry out the world’s largest airborne operation, Operation Market Garden, to cross the Rhine and bring a swift end to the war or, as the Germans, use a hastily organized set of defense forces to prevent the Allies from reaching their ultimate goal, ArnhemBridge. Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!
