So I’ve already got it in my mind that I could potentially use the 1/2400 minis I own. Lucky for them I love the 15mm minis too!). But I’m one of those players that also doesn’t mind experimenting with a set of rules in different scales (Battlefront’s “Flames of War” and “Team Yankee” games are sold with 15mm miniatures, but I’ve found they actually work even better in 6mm. That explains why they chose a different scale from what’s already a well-established market. Warlord has brought out some quality games, so I owe them a fair look here, I feel.Īnd of course, Warlord is obviously a miniature company and that’s how they want to drive sales, I get it. But you’ve got to keep an open mind about these things, and I always feel I need to be fair and give these companies a chance. Their early releases showed 1/1800 scale ships on pretty large bases, and at first glance I thought they were a little overpowering. Warlord started to share some news about their miniatures and candidly, I became a little more concerned. I really liked how VaS played, I liked the extensive fleet lists across two books that I owned and of course I was pretty deeply invested in GHQ’s miniatures in 1/2400 scale. So I was looking forward to a version 2 of VaS, but over several years not much seemed to be happening and eventually I kind of gave up hope that it would ever see the light of day.Įnter Warlord Games and their announcement last year that they had picked up VaS and would be releasing the game themselves! Having played Warlord’s Cruel Seas and enjoyed it enough to buy into the Napoleonic take on those rules with their newer Black Seas game, I was both intrigued but also a little concerned to hear this news. Some of my 1/2400 GHQ ships collected for version 1 of Victory at Sea:

I have all seven aircraft carriers that fought at Midway, and worked out how to base up the aircraft units in the game on small metal bases with fishing line holding up each aircraft (so they’d be flexible if bumped during a game). I liked VaS so much that I started collecting 1/2400 GHQ miniatures and amassing decent fleets for the British, Germans and especially the US and Japanese for the Pacific theatre. Hood scenario and on the second salvo from the Bismarck the Hood was hit by plunging fire in a magazine and exploded! In a crazy fluke our battle played out pretty much exactly as the engagement did in real life, which was really something to see. In an early game we played years ago, we tried out the Bismarck vs. Not too much detail and granularity, but good game mechanics. It’s a pretty simple game that I found generally has reasonable outcomes, what’s often called a ‘beer and pretzels’ type of game. The two rule books from Mongoose, “Victory at Sea” and the follow-on “Order of Battle” with errata and expanded fleet lists I had heard rumours of VaS getting a rework several years ago and I was quite excited because I’ve played the Mongoose version and really enjoyed it. The name may be familiar to you because it’s a re-release of an older version published by Mongoose Games. Warlord Games has been busy once again, with a new game about to hit the streets called “Victory at Sea” (VaS).
