What is The Troop?

This single-player, turn-based World War II tactics game follows British, Canadian, and German forces through the Normandy campaign after D-Day.

For you if...

+you enjoy planning infantry and tank moves carefully
+you like linked campaigns with experienced surviving units
+you value scouting and positioning in tactical battles

Not for you if...

−you want real-time combat instead of taking turns
−you prefer battles without permanent campaign losses
−you want human opponents rather than an AI
