The Troop

The Troop is a platoon/company level tactical wargame centered on WW2 around and after the Normandy invasion, with further content still coming. Gameplay is challenging and rewarding. Really good graphics for what the scale is. The rules take a minute to learn, especially in regards to the spotting mechanics which are the single most important mechanic. Many of the various game rules are adjustable, such as if an overwatch system is in play, whether units can fire through tall hedges or not, different rules for infantry movement, etc. Effectively endless replayability via skirmish battles and Battlegroup campaigns, where you can either pick your own forces and the enemies for a skirmish, or a bigger version where a force is picked for you from a selection of various templates and you can go on a randomised 5-9 mission campaign, along with historical campaigns and story missions. Frustration points can be found in the roughly X-Com-ish chance to hit, but if you’re a fan of historical wargame titles, this is an absolute gem that deserves some attention.
