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.

    The Troop has a strong mechanical foundation. Its ideas will be instantly recognizable for anyone who has played a World War II tactics-driven title before. But it also introduces nice tweaks that reflect how real-world battles were fought on D-Day. The computer is also smart enough to deliver some nice surprises, especially when it can achieve local superiority. The campaign is the best way to experience its ideas but there’s also plenty of variety in the Skirmish mode. Developers at Giant Flame have created the rare World War II strategy title that is both approachable and deep. The Troop is a great purchase for anyone who likes the Normandy battles and turn-based combat.

    The Troop as a generally solid, if difficult, strategy game on the whole is a diamond in the rough for diehard fans of the genre, but a steep price of entry and less-than-stellar presentational polish means that casual strategists might give it a pass.
