About the game
Get ready to step into the boots of a legendary Special Air Service (SAS) operator in 'SAS: Rogue Regiment', a stealth action game set in World War II! Starting from D-Day, you and your four-man team will be tasked with wreaking havoc behind enemy lines, carrying out daring sabotage missions against the Axis war machine. Imagine ambushing convoys, assassinating key officers, and destroying ammo dumps, all deep within enemy territory.

The game truly shines in its tense stealth gameplay. You'll have an impressive arsenal at your disposal, from rifles and explosives to combat knives and even vehicles, to neutralize patrols and sentries. The key is discretion: move quickly and quietly, eliminate targets unseen, and crucially, hide the bodies. Making noise, taking too long, or leaving traces can trigger the alarm, and your outnumbered team won't survive an open firefight. Each operator has 4 action points per turn to move, shoot, and complete objectives. During the stealth phase, enemy movement is dictated by patrols and event cards. A stealth meter ticks up with any suspicion generated, and if it fills, the battle phase begins. The ultimate goal is to complete the mission and escape unscathed, meaning discretion is your greatest weapon.
