Slitherine and Yobowargames are proud to announce Shield of Cholm, the new DLC for Valor & Victory, is now available. In January 1942 the Soviet Red Army began a series of counter offensives against the German Army. The Germans started to withdraw and occupied the strategic town of Cholm. To keep the offensive going the Russians needed to capture Cholm. The Germans, from their perspective, can't afford to lose this strategic point.
Despite the appearance, the Russian village of Cholm was of strategic significance: it held a bridge across the lengthy Lovat River and dominated a road nexus of four main roads amid an otherwise large, marshy and low lying area.
The new DLC features two huge maps, larger than any released in Valor & Victory so far, and twelve new scenarios that occur on the large maps, or on smaller areas of the maps. New units have also been introduced: Partisans, Conscripts, Russian Assault Engineers as well as new terrain types: rubble, debris, escarpments & ice. Valor & Victory: Shield of Cholm is based on the Kampfgruppe Scherer supplement from Le Franc Tireur. It releases alongside an update of the base game: with the Battle Generator players can now create random scenarios and choose the sides as well as the scenario size and force types; with the Fog of War option opponents can now choose to be hidden when not in LOS. Also, a difficulty balance has been introduced: players can manage Dice bias for a harder or easier game.
Valor & Victory is a fast-playing, easy to learn World War II squad-level game system. Based on the original Valor & Victory board game, the digital edition provides you with an accessible and deep challenge, developed for classic tabletop game lovers.
Valor & Victory: Stalingrad is the first DLC for Valor & Victory, with a brand new playable faction: the Soviet Union. It features the entirety of the Battle of Stalingrad, one of the the most important turning point in World War II.
