    Trying to remember a game...

    Right, long shot here. my mate had a demo of a game in about '97, it was a WWII simulator type game, made by Microsoft. Top down view, u controlled a squad of soldiers, either allied or huns and u had to complete missions. obviously. it was really good at the time, there were vechiles, mortar blokes, u fellas gots injured and wouldn't fight - all played in real time. i THINK it was called Close Combat but i'm not sure.

    Anyone know the name? any screen shots if so?

    Just fancied something to do on an afternoon while i'm bored at work...
