Reception

Close Combat IV was a finalist for Computer Games Strategy Plus's 1999 "Wargame of the Year" prize, although it lost to Panzer Campaigns I: Smolensk '41. The editors wrote of Close Combat IV, "Atomic Games’ innovative series finds a new home but retains its high-quality gameplay."[1] The game was also a runner-up for Computer Gaming World's 1999 "Wargame of the Year" award, which ultimately went to Sid Meier's Antietam![2] The editors wrote that Close Combat IV was Antietam!'s only "serious competition" for the award, but was hampered by "AI quirks and mysteriously reincarnating units".[2]
