What’s to like about The Troop… If you liked Steel Panthers for it’s attention to detail and the challenge of fighting asymmetric battles with a large range of interesting units - you will like this game. If you liked the Close Combat: series because of the nice maps, models and animations - you will like this game. If you liked Battle Academy for it’s simple elegance and the clever distillation of important tactical decisions, making adherence to historical tactics vital – you will like this game. If you play table top miniatures like Blitzkrieg Commander or Bolt Action and you like to see nicely detailed models getting shot up on nice terrain - you will like this game. But, if you’ve never played any of the above games and you are looking for a WW2 tactical game with a nice Interface, competent AI and enormous replay potential - you will like this game.

This really is an excellent game provided you're prepared to put a bit of time in to learn the mechanics. It has it's flaws namely a lack of elevation, no off map artillery and infantry is too easy to eliminate in the open but these are outweighed by the pros. There's a wealth of options to play from scenario's, skirmishes, set campaigns and my personal favourite dynamic campaigns or battlegroups. The graphics are very good especially the tank models and the game is a lot of fun once you understand the basics. Would heartily recommend to anyone looking to scratch their WW2 itch and hopefully they'll continue to develop the game. Would really love to see some early to mid war campaigns - France 1940, North Africa etc.

Love this game. It has the chess-like quality of XCOM melded with Company of Heroes. Lots of attention to historical detail. Easy to learn. Fun to play. The thrill of taking out a squad of Tiger tanks with a PIATs and anti-tank guns was immersive and emotionally draining. Even though it is turn-based, it feels very realistic. I have had a Steam account for years, and this is the first time I have ever bothered to make a review.

It's a poor man's XCOM in WW2. With less opaque RNG. What's not to love? There's a story mode, a campaign, and a randomish persistant "campaign". It would be really nice to have a semi-open campaign in the same style as XCOM, or better graphics or animations, but honestly why are you playing a turn-based WW2 indie game if that's your primary concern? Line of sight works fine. I don't understand the complaints. You click R, it tells you from whatever point you're hovering over as to what you can see and if there's a cover bonus. Same system as wargame.
