- Well, I haven't played them yet, but I've been asking similar questions
- elsewhere, and here's the answers I've gotten. V for Victory is generally
- considered to be a very good tactical simulation at a divisional/battalion
- level. The first version of the first Battleset was pretty buggy, but most of
- the bugs have been worked out. People that I've talked to said that the 2nd
- Battleset (Veliki Luki) incorporates more features and is more competative than
- the first Battleset, in which the Americans generally hammer the Germans.
-
- I think I'm going to get the second battleset when I can afford it. My one
- peeve is that the game is not networkable yet. Presumably, that will be a
- feature of the 3rd Battleset. WE WANT NETWORKABLE WARGAMES NOW!!! (or at
- least I do ;)
