Valor and Victory is a tactical-level gaming system set in World War 2, Valor and Victory is a turn-based game. Games are played in a series of turns. Each turn consists of two player “segments”. In each turn, player A conducts their segment, followed by player B. The current player in each phase is called the active player.
Each segment consists of the following phases:
★ Command Phase
★ Fire Phase
★ Move Phase
★ Defensive Fire Phase
★ Advance and Assault Phase
★ After-Action Phase
In each segment, the active player may perform actions in the Command Phase, Fire Phase, Move Phase, and Advance and Assault Phase. The non-active player performs actions in the Defensive Fire Phase. The After-Action Phase is a “bookkeeping” phase where the game takes stock of the segment’s events. Each player plays their segment in order. Once both segments are completed, the turn is completed, and the game moves to the next turn. Once all turns in the game are finished, the game is over, and a victor is declared.
The phase determines the actions that a player can perform. The Command Phase is an organizational phase. During this phase, the player can split a squad into two half squads, merge two half squads into a full squad, or transfer support weapons. A full description of each phase is found in the section “How To Play”.
