“You can never talk to a fool. Hitler spoiled the chance for victory.” - General Wilhelm von Thoma, Chief of the Tank Section of OKH, June 4, 1940
A Spoiled Victory is a solitaire game designed by Paul Fish and Hermann Luttmann that challenges the player with making decisions similar to what the British command was required to make during the evacuation at Dunkirk in May-June of 1940. Points are allocated each turn for defense of the perimeter, creation of evacuee units, and moving evacuees from the beaches to the safety of England. You cannot save them all, so you must pick who will stay and fight and who will escape to fight another day. The level of victory or defeat is measured by the number of troops and the amount of equipment that is saved through evacuation. See the Boardgaming Life review of the game.
"...an excellent game...fairly easy to learn, difficult to master." - Peregrine Nicholls
"...an ingenious game...will be well appreciated by solitaire afficianados..."

"I’m enjoying your games. Just finished my first game of A Spolied Victory, Dunkirk 1940. I scored 39 points. I’m sure I played incorrectly here and there. But certainly got the hang of it. It’s a fun game." - Joe L.
"Given I got this game for free, I am astonished at how good it is. It is easily the best States of Siege game in my collection and anyone interested in Operation Dynamo, or would just like to play a short(ish) but very exciting solitaire game should acquire this title." - Rob C.
