This, by far, is one of my favorite turn based strategy games. Its gritty, its hard, but when you pick up a battlegroup campaign and am playing with your back to the wall, you'll get it. It doesn't hand you wins, the game rewards adaptable, quick thinking, flexibility and when you engage with it, and think through your moves it rewards you. Protips, artillery spotters and snipers are a good team to pair. Armor works in teams, always. Don't cross open areas without a squad on overwatch, use your LOS tool and understand that concealed routes mean survivable routes. Your tanks all have smoke shells, your mortars have smoke shells - use them. This is one of my favorite turn based strategy games, I really hope the team goes on to do great things, as I'll buy whatever they publish next. Good tactics will always be good tactics.

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.

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.
