Platoon/Squad based wargames?

Are there any good platoon/squad based wargames like Soldiers: Heroes of WW2? Preferably with active pause.

As far as I know Soldiers is not a wargame but more of a tactical action game.

Proper (as close as possible) platoon/squad wargames (which I guess are not what you are looking for):

Steel Panthers series (WinSPWW2 (WWII era) and Winspmbt (cold war to near future) projects are free and good, get them!)
Combat Mission series
The Operational Art of War series (has user defined scale)
1/3 of all games sold by Matrixgames
Many more that also are not waht you are looking for.
Games that are closer to the game you mentioned are, Syndicate series, Cannon Fodder series. If you don't mind a bit less direct control over your units, try Blitzkrieg series.

Thanks for the reply!

I just got me Silent Storm which is fun to play (with a No Panzerklein mod).

well brothers in arms is pretty good, has a very good cinematic experience.

if you want something current/futuristic and tactical, try GRAW one of the best shooters ive played in a while

I have GRAW, I was thinking more of a strategic/tactical game. Preferably WW2
