Fast, simple, not expensive, little errata, but only reasonably fun. (War game Review)

In his review on BoardGameGeek, Brendan Whyte first turns a critical eye towards the components and rules and lists their shortcomings. Game play fares better: “…the game is fast and quite fun”. Whyte then goes into comprehensive details covering game mechanics and spares no criticism for the game opponent (AI). His discussion concerning solitaire board games vs solitaire computer games is very interesting.

Spoiled Victory - Video play-through

"First attempt at a playthrough with A Spoiled Victory: Dunkirk 1940 a solo game from White Dog Games. In this game, designed by Paul Fish & Hermann Luttmann, I'm attempting to evacuate as many British and French units through the channel as I can.
