Troops who are unprepared for winter combat will find it very difficult to fire their frozen weapons. If their weapons don't give them enough trouble, their lack of warm clothes will give them even move grief. As the winter snow melts during Spring, the ground turns into a mix of gooey mud and immobilized tanks. Another important feature of Close Combat III is its highly detailed maps. These maps are three times larger than the other maps in the Close Combat series and are based on historic aerial photographs.
Battles take place in vast plains and cramped cities.
Therefore, each scenario requires its own strategy and troop type. Battlemaker lets nerds the world over to mix up historically accurate battles with theoretical battles that could have happened in the war, but didn't. Sure that never really happened, but thanks to the Battlemaker, I have the power to make it real. The entire game takes place in real-time. Actually, it doesn't really take this long, but when the enemy has a wave of tanks speeding to the same destination as your weakling soldiers, every precious second seems like an eternity.
