Learn This Game: SILENT VICTORY by GMT Games
SILENT VICTORY is a solitaire tactical level game placing you in command of an American submarine during WWII in the Pacific. Your mission is to destroy as much Japanese shipping and as many warships as possible while advancing your crew quality and decorations - all while remembering you have to make it home.
Silent Victory is purposely designed to deliver a brisk yet intensive gaming experience that forces many decisions upon you as you take command of one of the major U.S. Fleet submarine types in service. Patrols will take you to differing parts of the Pacific as time progresses in the war. The most successful commanders will be those that can manage the risks they take while prosecuting as many targets as possible.
The game engine is built upon the successful Hunters design and has proven to be a solid, playable experience. All the major U.S. Fleet boat types are accounted for with every level of detail including period of service, armaments, crew makeup, damage capacity, and more.

Nice job. Tnx
Thank you!
great explanation! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Very professional explanation. Good job.
Thank you!
Hello! I found this guide to be somewhat useful, but it does not cover problematic and not always obvious rules. Like it doesn't cover the flanking, gun jums, MG shooting from different turrets, reloading, angle the hull etc. There is also no examples in a video of how the shooting works against infantry and armored vehicles, which are quite different and may confuse new players (like me 😁). This game is not as simple and easy as it might seem. And I've found that many youtube gamers make huge mistakes during their playthroughs. It would be great to see a more detailed guide on the combat system itself. Because that's the core of this game.
Hello! Thank you for watching and for the feedback. There are two main goals of this channel. The first is to provide an overview of each game to those considering a purchase. Hopefully these videos provide enough information to help gamers make what is sometimes a considerable financial commitment. The other goal is to provide a basic introduction to the gameplay, not necessarily to review all of the rules or nuances of the game so a new viewer is not overwhelmed. You mentioned some good points regarding this game. Perhaps more advanced videos that focus on a deeper dive into the rules and actual strategy might be appropriate for a Patreon channel. If there is a demand for these types of advanced videos, that should definitely be considered. Thanks for the suggestions.
Still prefer B17: QotS, but would love to see a video of Motorchamp from AZA Spiele or Leader 1: Hell of the North from Ghenos Games or Real Action Stockcar Champinoship from Real Action Games or Grand Prix from GMT Games.
Great suggestions. Grand Prix is on the wishlist along with Heat. Thank you for the feedback.
I'm missing a place to write down the names of the tank crew - just like in B-17 QotS.
That is a strange omission.
@@learnthisgame6612 I just feel more attached to characters with names…….
One of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen! Loved the use of graphics to explain in detail!
Thank you for the feedback!
Great breakdown!!!
Thank you!
What a fantastic video! I wish I found this when I was reading the manual for the first time.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the feedback!
Excellent video , presentation

I want this game but no shops have it
The only place this game appears available right now is on the publisher's website: legion-wargames2.mybigcommerce.com/target-for-today/.
@learnthisgame6612 thanks for the link. Game looks fun
Excelllent! I have my copy but ... not sure if the book spine is strong enough (and I'm extremely careful with my books)
That could be a concern since the game can be replayed many times and therefore put through repeated wear and tear. Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you for watching!
in the campaign game, if one of you crew member dies, do you do you have to start over ?
In section 8.0 POST MISSION DEBRIEFING in the RULES OF PLAY book, it states "When a bomber or crew member is lost, select a new bomber or crewmen and give them a new name in preparation for the next mission." Hope this helps. Thanks for the question.
that helped. Thanks! @@learnthisgame6612
Nice exp. But all the plus for firing at a passing fighter from 10,12,1.30 should not be applied. It never was in B-17 QoTs
Thank you for the feedback.

Hi! I have a doubt about the attack secuence. Suppose it is the enemy side's turn to attack: the rules say that the unit that fires must attack against the player's unit located in the first position of its alignment.. but what if the first unit of the player's line is panicked. .. The enemy side must also shoot at that panicked unit or must jump over it and attack the next unit in the lineup. What do you think? Thanks for your help. Grettings from Spain!
Hello to you in Spain! If you refer to rule 19.2 Battle Results Table in the Commando main rules (not the scenario rules) it states that a unit that receives a second Panic result is eliminated, so I would direct the enemy units to fire at the player's first unit even if it is Panicked because it can still be eliminated with another Panic result. That is my understanding. Hope this helps and thank you for the question.
That makes sense! Thank You for your answer, and for you useful videos.
Thanks
Thank you for watching. Hope the video is helpful.
Hi! Your explanation videos are so clear and helpful. I love them! Will je be able, in the near future, to do a video about the US Airborne expansion #24 please?

Thank you for the feedback. More wargames to come!
Excellent, well made and very helpful thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
It's not obvious to me why the ships have combat values, separate to the men on them.
That's a good observation. I didn't see anyting in the instructions explaining this approach by the designer.
Noticed at some online store, that there will be a Reprint in Nov 2023? decision Games website doesn't mention anything..
I know what you mean. There have been times when I have had to email the publisher directly since their websites are not always updated. Thanks for watiching.
amazing, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
How do you know McDougal only gets 2 actions? It doesn’t seem to say on his card.
That's a good question because it is easy to miss in the rulebook. There have been multiple versions of the rules including the original dedicated versions (for WW2 specifically) and universal rulebooks. Regardless of the version you can refer to the very beginning of the section SOLDIER ACTIONS: "All Player Soldiers have 2 Actions that can be spent each Solider Turn, unless otherwise noted on their cards." In the original WW2 rulebook I have, it is on page 20. In the April 2021 universal rulebook, it is on page 32. Hope this helps.
Im annoyed you cant find the WW2 version of this game even on their DVG website. Only the modern or other varients. WW2 they only list the expansion packs.
I just checked the DVG website and didn't see it either. I also checked Amazon, Miniature Market, and Noble Knight Games but the WWII version was out of stock. If you contact DVG customer service to ask about availability, please let us know what they say. Very strange. Thank you for the update.
I don’t know. A tactical game without a map!
If it helps, you can think of the location cards as the map. The card system allows you to have a new "map" each time you play.
Excellent Well done!! Concise and easy to follow
Thank you!
Excellent video! I've been trying to wrap my head around this game and play for the first time for almost a year now. You made the perfect tutorial video on how to start out. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! And thank you for the kind feedback.
Thank you for the instructions 😊
You’re welcome 😊! Thank you for watching.
Excellent video and to the point. Great summary of all the rules! I wish you had more of these for DVG games such as Stuka Leader or perhaps Field Commander Rommel since these are next on my list.
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions. There are still many DVG games to review. I don't have the two that you mentioned yet, but I do have Corsair Leader, Thunderbolt Apache Leader, Field Commander Napoleon, and Field Commander Alexander. LEARN THIS GAME also did a video on U-Boat Leader (2nd Edition) in case you have this game. Lots of great games, too little time!
I hope you do one for Fantasy! Great job!
Great suggestion! Thank you for watching,
Thanks for the clear rules review, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the feedback.
Great review and overview! Now I can get my copy of Target for Today on the table. Could you please do a review and overview of Target for Tonight?
Thank you for the feedback. Glad the video was helpful. I don't have a copy of Target for Tonight yet, but it is on the wish list!
@@learnthisgame6612 Hopefully you can get a copy soon! I grabbed mine from Noble Knight Games.
This was a really helpful video. Thanks for posting. I am about to play my first game and I had some rules questions that you’ve cleared up for me. A quick note-I just recently got this game (about a week ago), and I see that my map and rules have a 2023 copyright. It seems that there have been some small but significant changes with the new edition. The DAK counter is now placed randomly for each mission, rather than being assigned by the Mission Card. Jalo is now a base (and I have the odd situation as I’m about to play the Raid Rommel mission that one of my Objective Markers is on Jalo-I’m wondering if there is a rules oversight there, because if that marker ends up being a real objective, it’s already at a base, but if it’s a minefield, that doesn’t make sense-I think I’ll re-roll it). The rule regarding flipping Objective Markers is also a bit different-it seems that now you have to draw an Event Card when you enter a space with an Objective Marker, conduct any combat if required, then flip the marker, and if it’s a Minefield, you don’t draw a second Event Card. These notes are more FYI for you all, and for people coming to this video hoping to get play advice. I hadn’t run across your channel before, and I see you’ve done videos for a number of games I want to learn. This one was very well done. Looking forward to utilizing your instructions in future games.
Thank you for the helpful feedback. I will have to see if the updates warrant a revised video.Some of the mini games videos still planned for this channel are Lawrence of Arabia, Rogers' Rangers', and Ceres: Operation Stolen Base. Hope you enjoy your game!
@@learnthisgame6612 I played two times, lost both because the Commandos couldn’t roll for beans (once I rolled 5 threes!) and the Axis were all about their sixes, but had a great time. I’ll keep an eye out for those three games you mentioned-the one based on TE Lawrence sounds particularly interesting. Thanks for the heads up.
Best video to learn how to play hands down!
Thank you!
at 27:25, did you mean "resolve additional flak per section 6.2" when returning to base????
The video was referring to Additional Flak in section 6.7 in the rulebook. After completion of the bomb run, you roll again on Table 6-2 through Table 6-5 and complete the Anti-Aircraft Fire sequence in section 6.4. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question.
@@learnthisgame6612 Thank you Sir. As always a pleasure.
