Black Hand Studios?

Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem is a highly enhanced new release of Close Combat, using the latest Close Combat engine with many additional improvements. Its design is based on the critically acclaimed Close Combat – A Bridge Too Far, originally developed by Atomic Games, as well as the more recent Close Combat: The Longest Day. This is the most ambitious and most improved of the new Close Combat releases, but along with all the enhancements it retains the same addicting tactical action found in the original titles! Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!

Black Hand Studios?

Post by xe5 »

Who are these guys? They are listed as being CC-LSA's developers. The linked website was registered in Jan '04 but only has a landing page. Coincidental that Blackhand.net, also claiming to be Black Hand Studios, is a group of RTS (C&C) modders? The game credits mention Strategy 3 Tactics & Matrix but not Black Hand.

I suspect this is a new financial and legal regrouping of the typical suspects. I am just as curious and just as in the dark as you are...
I'm essentially graphically and history oriented, unfortunately to connect the two I have to do maths. I hate maths.
