Victory Decision Early War (now free US booklet!!!) released

[Agis]

As most of you are aware I am currently working on the new edition of Gear Krieg.

Victory Decision: Gear Krieg will be a full rulebook with all the fluff (and some more) of the original 2000 GK Tactical Rulebook by DP9. It will include army lists for German, British, US and Soviet forces (real life and superscience).
Since the original DP9 book covers the Early and Mid War period I was suddenly writing real life army lists for the above! (Gear Krieg is not just all fantasy, it is strongly rooted in real life history and military units)
After finishing the above I realized that I had just written the basic list for Early and Mid War! So why not publish them at the same time as GK for all the historical gamers? Or maybe even write lists for French and Polish…

And here we are:
The Early-Mid War German Infantry Guide and the Polish Army Guide are released!


These supplements for our "Victory Decision: World War II" miniatures game are comprehensive army lists.
A copy of the Victory Decision: World War II rulebook is necessary to fully use the content of the books.

The Early-Mid War German Infantry Field Guide is your comprehensive guide to using Early-Mid War German Infantry in Victory Decision: World War II.
Included are the Early-Mid War
Rifle Platoon,
Motorized / Panzergrenadier Platoon,
Cavalry Platoon,
Kradschützen Platoon,
Pioneer Platoon


The Polish Army Guide is your comprehensive guide to using Polish Army units in Victory Decision: World War II.

Included are the
Polish Rifle,
Motorized Rifle,
Cavalry and
Motorcycle Platoon
Organisation Chart and all the relevant HQ, Combat, Fast or Light Support Elements and Heavy Support Elements.

In addition this book covers 16 guns and vehicles for your Polish forces.
As with all our ebooks you will get in fact 2 books:
a full colour version with many historical pictures
in addition a B&W text only printer friendly version

You can download the books via the wargame Vault:

Great News.
Me and a friend want to play some Operation Barbarossa games and when the Perry's Afrika Korps arrives we can just start to go for Africa.

Best Regards

The British and Soviet Early/Mid war Guides are already drafted, if the reviews and testing go well I will release both in August.

[Wilhelmshoeher]

So i just have to wait for the Perry miniatures to be released.  I am lost... 
Keep on the good work!

Any chance we'll see the FRench soon? My gaming group is about to dive into Victory Decision, and one guy is really into the early war French.

I am already working on it, some tanks are done, but no infantry list so far.
Maybe September/ October.

Hmm... a real giant on the battlefield. Especially for early war german weaponry a tough nut to crack... luckily it's quite expensive^^
Think I'll try your stats with a proxy next weekend.
I think I'll need more anti-tank weapons for my early war germans

I'm tempted to try these rules; I've just finished my first squad of (Early War) Fallschirmjäger in 28mm and have planned for (quite) some more to follow. And of course they will need opposition in the form of the Dutch army.

Am I right though, in assuming that the chances of an army list for the Dutch in May 1940 are as slim of them actually driving the Germans back over the borders?

[BaronVonJ]

I highly recommend them. AAR from last week here:

Unfortunately yes - a Dutch book will not be released in 2012...
Maybe next year, together with Belgian, Norwegian, Finnish and Danish forces.

[Daeothar]

I am a patient man, sir.

Besides, I have plenty of other projects to busy myself with before then. heck; I might even finish one of them! 

Seriously though; it would be pretty awesome if this would become a reality, since I don't know of any 28mm system that caters to us fringy Dutch. Even FoW has no official lists, even though I know one is very near to completion...
