    Their dream began in 1990 when the company received its first art and graphic design contract for a strategy role-playing game published by Sir Tech. For the following two years, it continued to fulfill contracts for such leading companies as ABC Sports Interactive, Strategic Simulations, Empire Interactive, LucasArts and Cinar Films. Soon after, Strategy First developed its own sports game entitled Solid Ice and began to make a name for itself as a premier developer in the Industry, releasing such titles as Man of War I and II and Disciples: Sacred Lands.

    Since that time, the company has continued to grow rapidly and has expanded from a small team of a dozen employees to a team with over 40 talented programmers, artists and marketing representatives spread over 2 offices in Montreal and London, England.

    Strategy First continues to build its profile as a unique alternative for up-and-coming developers seeking to market their games to a worldwide audience. Examples of some of the titles that Strategy First has brought to the market are Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, Europa Universalis II, Sudden Strike, Hearts of Iron, Cossacks and Galactic Civilizations.

    In addition to publishing third party titles, Strategy First's very own development studios continue to break new ground with titles such as Disciples II: Dark Prophecy, O.R.B. and Nexagon: Deathmatch.

    Strategy First is definitely a company to keep your eyes on. The future is bright!

    Close Combat - Wacht am Rhein

    Winter 1944, the Last Blitzkrieg. This is Close Combat, You are in Command!

    [Translated from French] "On the whole, Matrix delivers a remarkable game to us, with plenty of vision, an enhanced ability to mod the game, and in-depth tactical action."
    - Review on PC4war Magazine (Print Only) 9/10

    "If you have at least a moderate interest in tactical strategy games, then Close Combat – Wacht am Rhein should fill your gaming quota."
    - Review on Out of Eight 6/8

    Based on Atomic Games’ award-winning Close Combat series, Close Combat: Wacht am Rhein brings together the classic top-down tactical gameplay from the original series and plenty of new features, expansions, and improvements! This remake based on Close Combat: Battle of the Bulge gives newcomers and veterans to the series alike a vastly improved and expanded version of the original experience. The Wacht am Rhein remake comes with a brand new Grand Campaign including a new strategic map with 64 gorgeous hand-drawn tactical maps, over 70 scenarios, tons of new interface and unit graphics, countless engine improvements, and much more!

    In Close Combat: Wacht am Rhein, you take command of US or German forces and either retrace the last steps of Hitler’s army in one desperate attempt to turn the tide of the impending allied victory or ride to the rescue with General Patton and push back the German offensive to reclaim Bastogne.

    Also included is a bonus “classic” version of the original Close Combat IV.

    Things didn't look good for the German Army in late 1944. The allies had advanced as far as the West Wall and had taken back most of the conquests of the Blitzkrieg. Although the Montgomery's plan to end the war, Operation Market Garden, had failed there was still a palpable sense that the Allies were on the verge of a major victory. With things not looking good on the Eastern front either, Hitler decided to make one last gamble and attempt to cut off a significant portion of the Allied army. Throwing in what remained of his feared Panzer divisions and his last reserves, he drove through Belgium to Antwerp in what would be called Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (translated as Operation The Guard on the Rhine or Operation Watch on the Rhine).

    At first it looked as though Hitler’s plan had a chance of succeeding. Early in the operation the advance was reminiscent of the Blitzkrieg across Europe early in the war. Although undersupplied and under trained, US troops still fought valiantly and in many spots offered pockets of stiff resistance which despite the rapid German advance. The German advance was quick, but as the days wore on, the advance out-paced its own supply and stockpiles began to run low. The situation was made worse with poor roads throughout the Ardennes and difficult winter weather. Almost as quickly as the attack had started, the advance ground to a halt.

    To add insult to injury, the 101st Airborne earned the nickname the “battered bastards of Bastogne” by putting up a unrelenting defense for this strategic point while vastly outnumbered and surrounded by heavily armored German forces. Refusing to back down, they prevented the Germans from occupying the important Belgium crossroads town and scored a major strategic and psychological victory for the Allies. Later, as the weather cleared, Allied air support was able to decimate German supply columns and advancing armor. This bought enough time for Patton’s armor and other reinforcements to arrive and begin the long slow reduction of the Bulge the Germans had created in the Allied line.

    Now in this classic top down real time tactical simulation, you take command of either US or German forces to retrace these fateful days of the war. Attempt to turn the tide of the impending Allied victory or desperately defend Bastogne while riding to the rescue with General Patton’s 3rd Army. In this vastly improved rebuild based on the critically acclaimed and award winning Close Combat series, You are in command!

    - Bovine Conspiracy: 90%
    "The Operational Art of War III is a very good reworking of the game that every seasoned wargamer is going to want to get their hands on."

    - Deaf Gamers 90%

    Norm Koger's The Operational Art of War III is a legendary title among wargamers.
    A masterpiece of flexible design, it allows you to play and create any battle from the entire 20th Century of warfare and up to the modern day.
    Now, Matrix Games together with Norm Koger and a new design team bring you the definitive release of this unsurpassed operational wargame – The Operational Art of War III.
    • Incorporates an updated anti-armor combat model, Norm Koger’s farewell gift to the TOAW engine, which allows for hits to be made against weaker side armor.
    • Enhanced play by email (PBEM) security, to remove exploits which plagued previous versions of TOAW.
    • Enhanced PO functionality. Substantial improvements made to make the PO, when properly set-up by a scenario designer, play much smarter.
    • 999 events can now be defined within a scenario. That’s twice as many as in previous versions of TOAW.
    • An attack duration limiter was added, available in the scenario editor, which can dramatically reduce, or eliminate, the frustrating effects of “turn-burning” attacks, which larger scenarios have often had to deal with.
    • Support added for scenario and era specific graphics, sounds, and music. Ships with several sets of default files, but is “mod-friendly” for those who wish to customize these items in their game.
    • Revised the manual and help file, to get rid of incorrect data and references going all the way back to TOAW I. The manual is now on .pdf and is searchable.
    • More Hotkey support was added, as well as several new UI enhancements.
    • More advanced game options, affecting supply and fog of war.
    • Turn logging enabled, both graphical and in text, to assist in the creation of “After Action Reports” by players eager to show the community their greatest victories or most embarrassing defeats!
    • Memory management issues with previous versions of TOAW under Windows XP have been solved. This now allows scenario dumping in the editor that caused previous versions to crash when running Windows XP.
    • Resource leaks in previous versions of TOAW found and plugged. You can easily run multiple copies of the program, and editor, without crashing.
    • Better treatment of nuclear attacks.
    • Several improvements on the combat system, so that low movement rate scenarios play better.
    • Anti-aircraft fire issues, where ranged AA did not work, and High altitude bombers were immune to AA fire in previous versions addressed.
    • Over three dozen additional fixes to bugs remaining from previous TOAW versions!
    • Two terrain tile sets included, the original set and a high contrast version, with easy switch installers to change between the two.
    • French and German language support
    • All of the Classic TOAW scenarios from Century of Warfare are included, along with 130 of the best scenario designs of the last 5 years.
    • ... and many more!
