Description

Victory is a customizable block unit wargame based on operations and capabilities of militaries during World War II. Each side has a variable force of fighters, dive bombers, heavy bombers, submarines, aircraft carriers, battleships, armor, marines, airborne and infantry. Seven scenarios are included, as well as design your own rules. Any Army Group (or equivalent) sized campaign can be recreated. Victory uses the same block unit system first introduced in Napoleon, allowing for the ultimate in fog of war wargaming.

In order to create a fog of war, unit blocks are stood up with the backs facing the opponent. In this manner the opponent not tell the type or the strength of the units being deployed against him until battle begins. Along the sides of the unit blocks, only visible to the owner until it comes time for combat, are numbers that represent the strength of the unit. The current strength is on top. As the unit takes losses, it is rotated so a lesser value is on top.
