TOP SECRET
OPERATIONAL
COMMAND, DO NOT MICROMANAGE
A General commands the Army, not the rifle. Issue orders based on intent. Define the objective, allocate the resources, and trust your officers to execute.
FIG A: OPERATIONAL PLANNING
CHAIN OF COMMAND
Orders flow down; intelligence flows up. As your subordinates survive, they develop traits and skills, offering new tactical solutions to operational problems.
FIG B: 8TH ARMY OOB
LOGISTICS DEFINES VICTORY
Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics. Secure your depots and protect your supply lines. A tank division without fuel is nothing but a target.
FIG C: SUPPLY LINES
ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
Your decisions echo through history. Your units endure from Dunkirk to Berlin. Lose a veteran battalion in '41? They are gone forever.
FIG D: BATTLE HONOURS
THE FOG OF WAR
No plan survives contact. Reports are delayed. Intelligence is flawed. Orders are lost in the chaos. Experience the friction of real command.
FIG E: CONTACT!
HISTORICAL AUTHENTICITY
History is not just a backdrop; it is the rulebook. Terrain generated from satellite telemetry and aerial recon. Orders of Battle sourced from official records. Command the actual regiments—from the Desert Rats to the 4th Indian. Authentic commanders, real scenarios, true to life authenticity.
FIG F: THE ARCHIVES
FUTURE OPERATIONS
"V for Victory" is only the beginning. The conflict will expand to Norway, Burma, and East Africa. New theatres. New nations. The war was global; so is our strategy.
PHASE II
NORWAY 1940
Experience an alternative to the disaster at Dunkirk, with the Allied expeditionary force in Norway
PHASE III
BURMA 1944
Take command of the forgotten army of Burma and face the relentless Japanese (and the jungle).
PHASE IV
EAST AFRICA 1941
Join forces with the British Indian and African troops to crush the Italians in East Africa.
