Covering Fire!

Description

This is a very interesting game, because it’s a platoon-sized infantry game that requires no measuring tape and has no fixed round structure. Instead the game relies on an action/reaction system, where players keep activating their units until something happens that ends their turn, such as missing shots, having their units suppressed, or failing a morale test. As an infantry game focussed on rifle and mg squads all units are always assumed to be in range, and movement is done in a straight line from cover to cover, so no measuring is required at all, making for a super fast experience.
