Planning Phase: Building Fortifications

Hello everyone!


Victory Banner is a strategy game inspired by real historical events and battle locations. That’s why it has space not only for fights and shootouts but also for an equally important part of any military action—the planning phase and building fortifications.

Before each mission, you will have the chance to study the map, your available inventory, vehicles, and squad composition, and use them as effectively as possible to win the battle.

To prepare positions in advance and organize an effective defense or a well-thought-out attack line, you will have machine gun nests, rifle pits, minefields, anti-tank hedgehogs, trenches, and other types of fortifications.

Mines and anti-tank hedgehogs can be placed with the help of an engineering truck. Load it with everything you need and drive it to the point where construction is planned. Building is possible within a small area around the truck.

Trenches are not ready-made templates. You create them yourself anywhere on the battlefield. Want a straight defensive line or a clever winding cover to confuse the enemy? It’s all in your hands. Draw a line on the map and mark the place for the future trench, turning your ideas into reality. This is a flexible system that lets you experiment and gives freedom for all kinds of tactical decisions on the battlefield.

You will be able to carry out various strategies:
– Build a classic defensive line, connecting trenches and machine gun nests;
– Create a branched network of trenches with shelters and communication paths;
– Use bends and corners to set up ambushes or hidden firing points;
– Bring real tactical schemes from military manuals and textbooks to life.

Use the landscape and local buildings to place machine gun nests and position your soldiers at key points. All maps are diverse and offer many options for organizing defense.

Every fortification becomes part of your strategy, and the outcome of the battle depends on how you use them. You can rely on minefields and machine guns or build a trench network and arrange hidden ambushes. Everything depends on your strategy—a well-planned defense not only protects from artillery and slows down the enemy but also opens up new tactical opportunities.

In the next posts, we’ll continue to discuss the mechanics and development of the game, follow the page so you don’t miss out.

Best regards,
