About this game

Close Assault blends the presentation of a board game with the convenience of a computer game. It uses a colorful mapboard and unit counters, while the computer handles enforcement of the rules.

Developed by Microcomputer Games, Inc. and published by The Avalon Hill Game Company, Close Assault was released in 1982 for Apple II, Atari 8-bit, and TRS-80.
