Five Men in Normandy .30 Cal edition

A World War II skirmish wargame focused on small groups of soldiers and the battles they fight across a campaign. It supports miniatures of any scale, with rules covering movement, firefights, searching, patrols, stealth missions, reaction fire, mortar support, equipment, and persuasion. Players can generate forces from several nationalities, create individual characters with backgrounds, motivations, experience, and skills, and link battles through campaigns involving injuries, random events, non-player characters, court martials, and changing squad morale. A dice-based system keeps turns quick while allowing unexpected events to alter the action. Solo play, quick pick-up games, and randomly generated missions are also supported.
