Elessar2590 v. Oriskany in Valor & Victory - Live Game - 2006 Afghanistan
We’ll be getting together with Dylan for a game of Valor & Victory, streamed live at 5:30 ET, 10:30 UK. For this session we’re pushing the Valor & Victory system into the 21st Century, with a skirmish between Australians and Taliban during Operation Perth (Chora Valley, 2006).
We’ll be playtesting as always. Valor & Victory is of course a solid system, but originally written for 1939-45. Our 1954, 1967, 82, and 93 expansions are doing okay, but this one pushes it (obviously) into the 2000s.
I’m sure there’s a “brick wall” out there somewhere where the V&V system isn’t so smooth, I think we’re getting close but we have’t quite hit it yet. For this game we’re rolling out new expansion rules for IEDs and off-board sniper shots (.50s from 1-2 miles away).
Hope to see some of you there for the steam.
Apologies for the awkward UK hour, hot we’re trying to accommodate players in Australia and audiences (and game masters) here in the US.
A section of the Orūzgān Province, south-central Afghanistan, 2006. Here, a force of Dutch and Australian foces tangled with Taliban elements in the Chora Valley, north of Kadahar. The Australian part of this campaign was Operation Perth, which we'll be taking a small look at in today's stream.
A zoom in. The town of Torin Kowt was the base of this op, carried out to the northwest with sizable American air support, including at least one AC-130 Specter gunship.
A zoom-in on the Chorat Valley, showing one possible guess for a specific location of the action.
The map for tomorrow's Valor & Victory game. Word of warning, the Taliban will have two IEDs hidden somewhere on this map.
I have no idea how tomorrow's game will unfold, but here is a possible mid-game shot to show how some of the units will look.
