The Proud and the Few

About

The Proud and the Few puts you in charge of small Marine units during brutal Pacific Theater battles in WWII. Command squads with precise movement and weapon systems while balancing ammo supply, cover, and enemy fire. Terrain plays a heavy role in outcomes as you navigate dense jungles, beaches, and rocky outcrops. Turn-based planning meets real-time action as you adapt to dynamic combat scenarios. John Tiller Software's Squad Battles series is known for deep historical research and tactical complexity. This entry focuses tightly on 1943-44 island campaigns, using real unit rosters and weapon specs. While its dated interface and steep learning curve may deter newcomers, veterans of the genre praise the series for punishing realism. Community forums remain active with custom scenarios and mods.
