Point Blank: Winter Victory Expansion for Point Blank V is for Victory

Survive the Frozen Hell of the Ardennes

Point Blank: Winter Victory is an expansion for Point Blank: V is for Victory, bringing players to one of the most brutal and desperate battles of World War II—the Battle of the Bulge. In December 1944, amidst the coldest winter on record, German forces launched a massive offensive into the snow-covered Ardennes, aiming to break through exhausted Allied lines. As German armor and infantry surged forward, the Allied defenders fought desperately to hold their positions and counter the overwhelming attack.

This 1-2 player expansion introduces new units, terrain, weather conditions, map tiles, and scenarios that capture the harsh realities of winter warfare. The Tiger II (King Tiger) and the M4A3 Sherman tank join the battle, alongside fresh infantry squads, leaders, and support weapons. The expansion also adds snow and fog rules, creating new tactical challenges that demand adaptability and strategic foresight. New Airstrike mechanics bring the power of aerial bombardments into the mix, offering devastating new options for battlefield domination.

Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee, that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.
