Victoria Cross: The Battle of Rorke's Drift (2004)

About this game

VICTORIA CROSS is a block style, area movement game covering the Battle of Rorke's Drift during the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. The game plays in 2 hours and has 60 blocks, a full color mapboard with a 3d view of the battlefield, charts and dice. The game is very exciting and has many decisions to be made. Playable by the novice gamer and detailed enough for the grognard.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
