- Hi all, something new from Studio Tomahawk, does it threaten the established main players Warlord Games Bolt Action and Too Fat Lardies Chain of Command? I have look at the rules and how they work and my give my opinion of how it plays.

Thanks for the review. Never heard of this game, but now I'm interested in taking a closer look at the rules.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the video I've been looking for! It does sound from this that it is a solidly designed game that sits in the "simple pickup game" space, which I've always felt is a gap in WW2 gaming, with BA being the "competitive & cinematic" one, and CoC being "is this perhaps a bit too realistic to actually be fun?" one - and both having a lengthy-ish learning curve too. I may well try and get the club to buy in on this on the back of this video ...
most people who have played it at our club have enjoyed it.
Hi, The XL scenario with 22 star support goes through the cards and rule changes for a 6x4 upscaled game with multiplayers if wanted. :)
Cheers Rich!
Well explained and some nice pictures. My friend and I played a lot of "Congo" and really liked the mechanism there. When it comes to the other two games...BA is okay...a bit too much Hollywood at times and a bit too random. All the mentioned things (Japanese with bamboo sticks) don't really happen in my playing group as we don't play any tournaments...non competative only. CoC is well liked by some in our region and it is definitely historical but it is too boring for me...maybe too much of a simulation. My concern for VfV might be that it is focused on late war atm and that the variation of possible activation cards might get a bit boring after some time (happened to us with Congo) and the restriction to rather small games.
When I have time I'll answer this in a bit more depth re early war time frames.
For Early war i would recommend Too fat Lardies 1940 The fall of France supplement for Chain of Command, It will not be difficult to produce your own forces form it.
Thank you for the very useful video. I have the rules and the extras and will be giving this game a solo try soon. I do not enjoy Bolt Action and I am hoping this will be a good way to use my 28mm figures.
Certainly worth a go.
