CB13 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Alright, I jumped into Game 72 after having not played for almost 10 years. (And no...I won't tell you which country I am. ) Anyway...I'm wondering a few things. 1) Are there any other web resources out there for Victory! other than the message board I can snoop through. 2) Any suggestions for some tactics that will get me through the beginning stages of the game? Anything that helps is mucho appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB13 Posted February 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 So, for those Static units, does that include AAA units too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedleythebarbarian Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 also airbourne though they are usefull later when you rail them to a new location and upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB13 Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 So, that's it? No more hints for the newbie type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimor Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 - build atleast 1 ldb in every province/ city so you get a battle report - get some friends - watch your money - know your country, it's resources it's rail.. but know your enemies one better - get ready to attack... defence is for the weak ..

smedleythebarbarian Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 if your a big country, concentate on the 3 border provinces doing the provices only, building ldbs in every city and provice is impossibly expensive. Pay attention to the weather, attrition in the north, as well as air mission cancellations can put a cloud over your plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicO Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Go to Amazon and order: Achtung Panzer! Sun Tzu's The art of war Vom Kriege And some others Read 'm and apply And allways remember. First you win, then comes the battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbeerse Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 ChicO, Victory is not a game about strategy: It is about supplies! Cut the supplies of an army, and they are a sitting duck. Norbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicO Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Supplies/logistics are an important part of strategy. And without a clear plan (a.k.a. strategy) you will not be victorious. No matter how much supplies you have available. *by the way, another reason to upgrade those Frontiers. They hold absolutely no supplies. Go for Mot, Mech, Armour) But thanks for the tip. My Vic! knowledge is a little rusty after all those years and anything helps to get me started. I will order Alfred Spoor to build some extra factories. Oops, these 500cp's are gone...

CB13 Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Alrighty...new question? Does factory production occur before or after military unit production? I'm wondering if I should plan on unit production based off of current stockpiles or current stockpiles + factory production. - CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbeerse Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hello CB, Factory production is done at the end of the turn. After your orders have run. Look at the end of turn section in the rulebook. There are some interesting parts about the sequences of production, resource gathering etc. Norbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC_POINTMAN Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Pick one country to attack. If you have more then one around you. Get with them all and see if you can All. or TA. That way you know who is not friendly. Make sure your food is good and you build your ADL up every turn. If you wish to e-mail me you can at usmc_pointman@sbcglobal.net I am playing Alger. And if your one of the countries buy me talk to me. There maybe a TA in it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
