A bit about Victory Software here.
Victory Games
In 1982 Avalon Hill hired some of the design staff from Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) after that company was purchased by TSR, Inc, and formed them into a subsidiary company, Victory Games.
SPI had specialized in wargames that were more complex and realistic simulations than those that Avalon Hill published.
It also published games more frequently than Avalon Hill, which stayed with its two-a-year schedule of releases long after SPI began publishing boxed games monthly and as inserts via the magazine Strategy & Tactics.
When Victory Games released a line of SPI-style games, it met with critical and commercial acclaim.
As staff members gradually departed Victory Games for other companies, they were not replaced with new hires. The subsidiary was disbanded in 1989, though existing Victory Games designs were published under that imprint in subsequent years.

I'm not sure where this information originate from nor who put it in BUT according to the founder of Victory Software I can't find any mention of Avalon Hill Game Company. However there's a lot of information about the company from the main man (Bruce T. Robinson): http://brucetrobinson.com/VictorySoftware.html
