My group wants to make a "special forces" party full of 'Soldier' backgrounds that would be fighting skirmishes in an overarching war. Is there a 2014-2024 adventure that covers a war that is happening between two or more kingdoms?
Go to Hollywood and look up movies, Those might fit your needs better than the history books. There are a lot of WWII and Vietnam war movies that have what you describe. There are a few other one or two list of movies for other wars. History books have more raids written about them. It is pretty easy to convert history over to a campaign/one shot scenario.
I think The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is just the latest of Hollywood movies.
There are also a lot of those type of raids in wars pre 1900s. They are in the history books but it might take a bit of looking.
A nice raid is in the US Revolution where Benedict Arnold grabbed some Vermont troops and with Knox captured guns in Ticonderoga and took those guns to Boston to force the Brits to retreat. This was years before the famous Battle of Ticonderoga.
The current book by WoTC, Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, is an adventure book centered around a war that the actual DnD company has recently published.

Hello community,
My group wants to make a "special forces" party full of 'Soldier' backgrounds that would be fighting skirmishes in an overarching war. Is there a 2014-2024 adventure that covers a war that is happening between two or more kingdoms?
Thank you
Hi,
the major D&D conflicts popping in my mind are the War of the Spark in Ravnica and the Last War in Eberron.
For the first, I wrote this bestselling adventure: RAVNICA: Secure the Lantern! - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild
(you can find lore about that war here: War of the Spark/Event - MTG Wiki)
For Last War, I wrote this other adventure: EBERRON: Zombie Commando - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild
(you can find lore about the Last War in the official 3rd edition book EBERRON: The Forge of War)

Thank you IhsanShade. This will help a lot.
I also found "Tales of the Dark Lanterns" From Tyler Leonhardt at https://www.dmsguild.com/product/386173/Tales-of-the-Dark-Lanterns-Level-1-The-Gain-of-Thrones for anyone looking for the same ideas in the future. It follows a covert agency in Breland's Military for EBERRON.
