So writes the Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov about the assault on Berlin . For four years the Great Patriotic War continued. Millions of soldiers, thousands of tanks and planes - the entire might of USSR , Great Britain , France and many other countries were sent to battle. In the end fascist Germany was defeated.

The strategic card game "Victory Day" is dedicated to the last period of the war when soviet soldiers assaulted Berlin and completely broke the German forces. Each player takes on the role of a division commander. He has command over different units: infantry, armored vehicles, artillery and aviation.

Each unit has a historic counterpart - so for instance each rifle company in the game is a counterpart of real life divisions, platoons of KV tanks and T-34s, batteries of "Katusha" rocket launchers, squadrons of LA-7s and Tu-2 and so on. All in game characteristics were done keeping in mind the actual abilities of the historic counterparts. By using special "tactical cards" you can use different assaults, tactical manoeuvres and psychological effects. Throughout the game, players simulate different actions of their divisions: charges and break through, artillery support and aerial bombings, organization off defenses and blocking enemy troops.

Each card has an image of the unit, it's characteristics and abilities and also a text - usually it's a quotation from a historical novel or memoires, or some information on the current unit. All illustrations on the cards are done from actual black and white photos done during the war by using computer technologies.
