A sleeper from digi4fun, strange mix of 3D battles and real time map-based play.

It's Close Combat without the limitations of fixed maps and limited unit availability.
And without the fancy graphics and varied missions, I'll grant you...

Not really like the board game, and not really very memorable...

The new Combat Mission game is going to have to go a ways to be better than this.

A platoon-level tactical game of combat on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945. Each square is 200 yards across. There were four historical scenarios and a DYO option. An expansion disk added five additional scenarios that were designed to challenge experienced players. The stock scenarios are:
Meeting Engagement East of Bryansk (July 7,1942)
Attempted Relief of Stalingrad (December 17, 1942)
Attack Toward Kiev (November 30 1943)
Attack Toward Berlin (March 22, 1945)
An excerpt from the Strategy Notes in the game manual:
"Kampfgruppe rewards those who are able to use combined arms tactics. On the attack, artillery should be used to suppress and destroy enemy anti-tank guns, as well as suppress enemy mortar positions. Infantry is needed to suppress and then assault defending infantry positions, as well as help in suppressing enemy vehicles. Tanks can be used to destroy enemy vehicles and overrun suppressed enemy infantry and gun positions. Armored cars and light tanks should be positioned several squares ahead of the assault elements in order to spot enemy positions and draw fire from anti-armor weapons, thus exposing them to the fire of your artillery. On defense, use infantry to ambush tanks and suppress any units that come too close. Artillery can be used to keep attacking infantry pinned down, while anti-tank guns attack vehicles that are mixing it up with the defending infantry. Tanks should be used as a mobile reserve, fighting off major armored thrusts, or counterattacking unsupported infantry attacks."
