One of my favorite scales of wargames is the tactical level. There is just something to be said for small squad based action in a historical setting. The choices, the focus on the individual soldiers, their weapons and equipment, the tactics and strategy and most importantly the narrative that is created with each and every move. Most of the time, I really like my tactical level games to also be a bit pulpy as I really want to feel like I am playing in a movie and creating the story as we move along in the game. Well, recently there was a new Kickstarter released that takes the tactical level of World War II to new cinematic heights with its pulpy setting, simple rules set but with a very different focus on the tactical genre as the game is more of a stealth game than a straight up fire fight focused on behind enemy lines actions in Europe during World War II such as raids, sabotage and search and destroy missions. The game is called SAS: Rogue Regiment from Word Forge Games and it works hard to create a fun and exciting experience that is miniatures like without the plastic minis. 

I wrote a fairly in-depth look at the game in this First Impressions post: https://theplayersaid.com/2024/09/10/first-impressions-sas-rogue-regiment-from-word-forge-games/
