Really neat ruleset, was a good game! Though i agree with the terrain hampering the sides a little bit, but hey, first games of new rules are always hampered in my experiance ha Thanks for the vid, Graham :)
Hello and thank you for this video. I hope you enjoy the game. You're missing some obstacles on your table, to break the lines of sight/shoot. It takes a bit of playing before you get the idea of the game. There's a steep learning curve. I hope your video will encourage other players to at least give it a try. Enjoy the game. Fred
@@hobbyonefred8735 hi Fred, yes did enjoy the game. I am sure we missed a few things, my friend Graham has the rules and it was his first game. I am sure we will quicken with game play. Hopefully our game shared will give a flavour of V for Victory. I am always happy to share ST game, the balance between skirmish and fun suits my needs in gaming. I hopefully will get rules this weekend at Warfare.
Hi, possibly. the rules are designed to change the dice, D6,d8,d12 depending in situation. but with always needing a 5 to hit, or 5 to save on defense roll. i think the V for victory was a slogan, in the Uk adapted by Churchill in ww2, might be a coincidence.. Not sure but think this is the case.
I believe that broadcasts to occupied France were preceded by the opening notes of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, which translate into ‘V’ in Morse as in V for Victory. There’s an example in ‘The Longest Day’ of the broadcast to activate the resistance.

@@Kincaid1110 my pleasure, i think it gave a good, if slow taster to the game. The next game we play will be quicker.
Graham, I liked the repeated questions of 'What do I need' before rolling your dice :) The game is '5 for Victory'
@@spatten7502 lol. Well in my case, you are dealing with a buffoon. :-)

I've read it's five as the company that has produced it is French and the 'V' was something to do with their WW2 efforts.

Churchill's V for Victory got three years.
Turned his fingers round and he got three jeers!
(That's what we said as kids)
