The Troop is a turn-based, platoon-level tactical game set in WW2. From the early hours of D-Day, follow the campaign of the British and Canadian forces as they struggle against their German counterparts in fighting across Normandy and beyond.
## About This Game
On the morning of the 6th June 1944 the Western Allies began the largest
seaborne invasion in the history of warfare. D-Day would mark the start of a
vicious campaign to wrestle North West Europe from German control. The
following months would see the ancient fields, farms and villages serve as a
battleground for new, lethal weapons that would become legendary.
The Troop follows the campaign of British and Canadian forces as they face the
German Heer and SS in Normandy. Take command of infantry, motorised and
armoured units in desperate tactical turn-based combat against an AI opponent
that is challenging and unpredictable, but fair and fallible.
Simple, complete control – The Troop embraces the best traditions of classic
tabletop war gaming combined with the interactivity and excitement the digital
format affords. You have complete control over your units’ actions; tanks will
not expose their weak side armour with unexpected pathing, hidden guns will
not reveal their positions by firing prematurely, infantry will not flee
inexplicably when victory is a few heroic paces away. Your AI opponent has no
special knowledge and is subject to all the same rules and restrictions as
you. You are free to take your time… but any mistakes are yours and yours
alone.
Choose your difficulty, play as you want – The Troop does not have one
difficulty setting. Instead players can control a variety of feature and
information settings to tailor their gameplay experience for the most
enjoyable challenge.
A game, not a simulation – The Troop is born from a life long passion for WW2
history and turn-based games. Our aim is to give a little glimpse of that
history through an enjoyable challenge. The events depicted are set in the
broad reality of the historical campaigns, the missions themselves however are
fictional and geared towards an enjoyable challenge rather than a strict
depiction of history. We hope only to do justice to the spirit of those
countless memoirs and after action reports that survive and continue to
fascinate us.
