March 2025

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.

I empathize with players feeling frustrated by certain aspects of this game. IMO understanding line-of-sight, and the danger of remaining stationary after being spotted by the enemy are key concepts towards better outcomes. Understanding the relative effectiveness of Allied and German vehicles is another critical game concept. When I read complaints of enemy hits penetrating while player rounds bounce off, I wonder if the player is describing shooting at the front of a Tiger or Panther from almost any Allied tank in this game..? I recommend the movie Fury as a visceral representation of the plight faced by Allied tankers who had to fight German heavy armor. As for the game cheating, I've sworn at "lucky hits" from the enemy about as often as I've cheered my own first shot mortar hits and low-probability tank kills.

Okay, enough is enough! I almost never write reviews, but I have just got to for this game. The Troop gets some negative reviews from people that just don't know how to play it effectively. It has a challenging AI, and some of the concepts (ie: the gunnery points that determine where your tank's gun is pointing, Line of Sight, and Spotting rules etc) are innovative and tricky to master. But if you spend some time learning the game you will be rewarded with an superb exciting WW2 wargame, that will be keep you engaged for hundreds (or thousands) of hours. Who wants a game that is easy? You would play it for 10 minutes and then forget it. The AI is good, but it DOES NOT cheat! I have reported on hundreds of my battles on the forum, showing that the AI does not have any advantages over the player, as long as that player knows what he/she is doing!

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.

July 2024

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.
