Reconnoitering Close Combat

Close Combat uses four screens: the Command, Game, Debriefing, and Debriefing Details screens.

Command Screen

The Command screen is the first screen that appears when you start Close Combat. You use the Command screen to select the type of game, side, number of players, and level of difficulty. The Command screen consists of the elements described in the following sections.

Menu Bar

Three items appear on the Close Combat menu bar: Game (File on the Macintosh), Options, and Help. The menu bar appears on all four Close Combat screens.

Game Buttons

Four game buttons appear on the Command screen; the button you select determines what is displayed in the scrollable list. The four buttons are:

Boot Camp button When you click the Boot Camp button, the available training exercises appear in the scrollable list.

Maneuver button When you click the Maneuver button, the available Maneuvers (single battles) appear in the scrollable list.
