Description

Valor & Victory is a fast-playing, easy to learn World War II squad-level game system. Based on the original Valor & Victory board game, the digital edition provides you with an accessible and deep challenge, developed for classic tabletop game lovers.
With 19 scenarios based around real events shortly after the Normandy Landings in 1944, the game challenges you to achieve different objectives: eliminate the enemy, capture objectives, or exit certain units off the map. And with the new random scenario generator, mission setups and objectives can be endless.
Additional DLC's are also available allowing for new armies and battles to be played, including the battle for Stalingrad, with other DLC's being continuously released.

Valor & Victory is a complete WWII wargaming system, covering infantry and armored combat, close assaults, armored overruns, fortifications, and much more.

COMMAND, FIRE, MOVE, DEFEND, ADVANCE. REPEAT

Just like the original board game, each turn is divided into phases:
• Command: Automatically rally your troops, split or merge your squads and exchange weapons. In the command phase, you lay the foundations for a successful turn.
• Fire: Check your line of sight and firepower and prepare to set the battlefield on fire. If you have any eligible weapon, you can fire smoke instead of attacking and gain extra protection for your units.
• Move: Move any of your units that did not attack during the previous phase and try not to be taken by surprise: hostile opportunity fire may be just around the corner.
• Enemy Defense: Be ready to defend your squad. Enemies that did not opportunity fire will have their last chance to harm your units.
• Advance: Advance any of your units by one hex or conduct a close assault with your infantry forces.
You will roll the dice to determine the combat results, but your luck is in your hands: wise use of terrain, covers, leaders, hindrance and many more modifiers will greatly improve your chances of success.
You also have the ability to customise your missions by altering the difficulty level, the number of game turns, or choosing whether Fog of War is on or not.

MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT

Valor & Victory comes with full multiplayer support: challenge your friends in 1v1 multiplayer matches over PBEM and hotseat. If you’re looking to test your skills, sign up for official tournaments and climb the leaderboard as well.

SCENARIO EDITOR

An extremely intuitive built-in scenario editor allows you to build and play your own scenarios either against the AI or against your friends. Pick a map, set the objective, choose the factions, place units and defenses where you prefer. Add details and customize your rules: decide the number of turns, the weather conditions, and the starting team. The scenario editor gives you all the tools to create custom, unlimited different challenges. Steam Workshop functionality allows you to share your creations or to upload other players missions they have created.

Ive been watching the scenarios and something is wrong with the dice mechanism. Over the past 3 days I'e tried to play about 10 games total, I have won 1 of these 10 games against the AI. Here is my issue after 9 very

While there is a lot to like about this game it is utterly ridiculous that I can have three stacks of units next to an enemy stack and all three miss two turns in a row. There needs to be adjustment in hit attempts for

I've played over 3,000 different board games and countless computer games. I also spent at least a decade on Matrix Games forums complaining about nearly every game. What few games met some of my expectations would fail

I absolutely love this game. It has a feel like squad leader yet slightly different. Most scenarios are pretty quick so it's not a huge investment in time to play a quick game. Multiplayer works fine. And the occasional

The execution is fine but the game is too dependent on luck. The first scenarios are close to impossible for the axis and a piece of cake for the allies. When the range of results for a single fire attack goes from

What a beautiful game this is. It's known for being a simplified take on the ASL rules but honestly I'd say it reminds me of the classic SL far more than full blown ASL, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I
