Combat! 3: Arnhem

ETA Q2 2024

“It is only when one faces death, observed one of the men there, that one realizes the great value of life”

– Antony Beevor

Combat! Is a solitaire game of man-to-man combat in World War Two. This is the third game in the series of Combat! games that use the same system. This game introduces the British Armed Forces into the system. The game will focus on one of the most well-told moments in the long history of Britain. The fight for Arnhem Bridge. Players will use the actual British army forces that fought at the famed bridge and most hold at all costs.

This is a stand-alone game.

The game system uses a unique AI to make for intense combat situations as well as unlimited replayability. You will stand on the defense against a relentless foe. Can you hold on?

There are multiple scenarios covering several stages of the attack on the Arnhem Bridgehead. The results from each scenario will influence the following scenario if you wish to play a campaign game – or play any battle as a stand-alone experience.

“Utrinque Paratus!”

–Ready for anything! the motto of the British paratrooper
