Baptism of Fire: World War II Skirmish Wargaming (2002)

A WWII miniatures game with emphasis on realism. From the publisher: When I set about designing the rules, I had several ideas in mind. One was to provide a highly interactive game. The second was a degree of realism, not so much the detail of weapons, but more of the reactions and abilities of scared men led by a few less visibly scared. Lastly, it was to also take absolute control away from the player and provide uncertainty, have the men not always perform as well as desired.
