In Close Combat: Modern Tactics you take command of either US or opposition forces and engage in head to head battle (with up to 5 players per side) using modern era weaponry and equipment on gorgeous hand drawn maps. Air and artillery support are on-call but the objective can only be secured by Close Combat. You are in command!

The Marine Corps Association Foundation can offer a standard package sufficient to support one requesting battalion.  The requesting battalion would get 2 company sets of 6 games each, for a total of 12 games (downloadable to personal computers) with a 12 month license.  This should allow variations of platoon level to squad level unit leader training, and likely cover pre-deployment and deployed periods for that battalion.

Memoir ’44 is a unique historical game where players command Allied or German forces facing-off in dozens of WWII battles from 1944 in Europe on an oversize hex game board. Each battle scenario mimics the historical terrain, troop placements and objectives of each army. Deploying forces through a variety of Command cards, the smart commander uses the unique abilities of his or her units – infantry, tanks, artillery – to combined effect leading to victorious engagements.  Easy to learn and fast-paced, Memoir ’44 requires intelligent and timely commands (card play) and an aggressive, yet flexible, battle plan.
