Close Combat 3 – The Russian Front for Mac

Great news! Close Combat 3 – The Russian Front for Mac is added to Porting Kit! The game series have been released yesterday, so I pushed other stuff away, and started to port these series. I tested the first three (Normandy, Russian front and Battle of the Bulge), from which I managed to port the last two (the others I still need to look at). So here is the first post for Close Combat 3 – The Russian Front. Both games works great although in 800×600 resolution only and you have to disable in-game videos to prevent trouble. So make sure to de-select that in the game launcher and start the fun!

Install is simple:
1. Get Porting Kit or Crossover if you don’t have it yet.
2. Then download the GOG.com setup file from Close Combat 3 from GOG into your download folder.
3. Then in Porting Kit search the game in the library –> server tab and click install.
4. After installation of the game, “exit” the GOG installer.
5. Click “Play” to start the game! Have fun!

Game Description:
Command a fire brigade of soldiers on the Russian Front in this real-time strategy game set in World War II featuring unequaled detail, realism and scope. Player as either the Soviets or Germans as you orchestrate your squads’ attack, defense, and survival over four grueling years of the grandest and bloodiest war the world has ever seen. To succeed, you must guide your man through the moral dangers of war while physically an psychologically defeating your enemies. Your soldiers are counting on you.

  1. Hi, same question here, that’s really unfortunate.
    Tried a dirty hack with a custom port:
    – setup doesn’t launch, stating that’s its only compatible with Win95 like systems
    – I created another custom port, dedicated to executing the setup (forcing wine Configuration to Windows XP) : setup installed correctly, but could launch the game after :(
