Recommend a Solo Low Model Count WWII Skirmish Game to a Newbie

Hello All,

Came across this community recently when looking for wargames to play. For background I used to play a lot of tabletop games, Gamesworkshop stuff, etc. but due to life and kids and whatnot I don't really play anymore.

I recently got a 3D printer and am exploring that hobby and want a project to work on. I've always liked WWII stuff, but never had anyone to play any of the bigger WWII games with (Flames of War, Bolt Action, etc). So I'm coming here for recommendations :). Figure I can try my hand at printing out some terrain

Does anyone have recommendations for a solo low model count / small play area / faster playing WWII themed skirmish game?

Knowing myself, if the model count is too large, I probably won't finish the project (or play space is large or too much terrain is needed or whatever). While 15 models/side seems low, if I have to provide both sides then that ends up being more like 30 models, etc.

• Having co-op as an option is a plus but not required.
• Also want something that plays in an hour or less
• Looking for an easy-to-run AI (if it takes me longer to figure out what the AI is supposed to do than it takes me to play my own turn, that's no good lol). At the same time I'm not really a fan of playing both sides myself, so I'd prefer an AI that actually makes decisions.
• This isn't required either, one off battles are fine - but I like RPG elements in video and board games, so it would be kind of neat if the game has a campaign of sorts where your soldiers "level up" so to speak, but I'm not interested in doing lots of book keeping after each game.

As an example, I recently learned about Greathelm and tried the quickstart rules out, I plan on trying to print a little battlefield for it. It seems to meet a lot of my criteria. Curious if there is something similar in the WWII skirmish space.

Yeah anyways, pretty specific, not sure if a game like this exists but I figure I'd come here and ask.
