Victory Decision rules review
« on: March 23, 2012, 10:16:10 AM »
A review of the core rulebook and the Victory Decision rules is now up on my blog. Victory Decision offers a fast paced and easy to learn game for playing WW2 squads on a platoon or company level scale. In terms of miniatures the recommended scale is 15-28mm, but you can use both single or multibased with the rules adapting to either case.

Players take turns trying to activate single units through initiative rolls as they work their way through their forces, with each unit having several action points to spend on various actions such as movement, calling in artillery strikes, firing at the enemy, taking cover etc.

There is also a clever game mechanic which handles how hard units are to hit and to wound combined into one roll. This combined with units using both D6 and D10 dice depending on small arms and AT weapons this controls who and what can attack armored vehicles without disrupting the flow of the game and maintaining the basic formula of the game mechanics.

Check my blog for the full review:

Can't agree more - some minor rule misunderstandings but very helpful. BIG thanks to Anatoli!

Great review mate!

Much appreciated by myself as I move into playing WW2 in 28 mm (as well as already playing Flames of War).

It's nice to have someone give a useful review, and you have done quite a few  :D

Happy Gaming,

Allan
