One sided. But then again, history as a guide, what would one expect? Opps... would rate around 5.

Fast playing as the Germans face time compression trying to beat the Soviets. Think it should rate around a 6 though. (If I owned it that is. I try to only rate games I own, not played.)

I played this one and I did not like it much because of the low strategic depth of it... More like a boardgame than a wargame...

One thing I noticed is that Vae Victis games seem plagued by erratas. I wonder how many people actually know that there is an errata for the game they are playing, and that probably will look broken without it?

For most of the recent VV issues, the errata can be found and downloaded on Vae Victis website now...

Also, if you have a complete series (which I do), you can usually find the errata on the back of the map of the following issue.

Desaix should just say he doesn't like VV minigames (a good chunk of his debatable "worst" list). It would be faster and cut his last by half.

This list is not reflecting my opinion on games but simply the lowest ranked games as ranked by BGG users.
