Video Game Scenario Design - Stalingrad Valor & Victory DLC
That’s right, folks … the Sitrep Podcast is officially in the video game business with the recent release of the Stalingrad DLC for Valor & Victory by Yobowargames.
For this release, Oriskany Jim was contracted to research, design, build, and test a series of Valor & Victory scenarios (V&V original game by Barry Doyle) set in the brutal Battle of Stalingrad – fought on the Eastern Front in 1942-43.
We’ll be taking a brief overview of the research, design, and construction process, and how it all translates to the screen in a video game platform.
Released by Matrix and Slitherine Games and available on Steam, this DLC allows you to play as either the Germans or Soviets, and includes the full V&V ruleset including snipers, valorous units, artillery barrages, air strikes, tanks, transport units, and towed antitank guns.
The game also allows you to modify and design your own scenarios for near endless re-playability.

Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend.
Some of the concept objectives and constraints for the project
Beginning research on the scenarios to be constructed
One of the maps designed, built, and tested in V&V play. Sent to Yobowargames for development into the actual video game.
Pavlov's House Map (Scenario 06)
The Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory (Scenario 06)
The End at Stalingrad (Scenario 12)
A good informative video Jim you’ll never beat the computer game. the Ukraine steel mill fighting had me thinking of the Stalingrad tractor factory.
I got there eventualkly @zorg … it just took one more try.
Also, good call on the Asovstal steel factory. I was also reminded of the “cyborg terminators” (as the Russians called them) defending the Donetsk International Airport when this war first kicked off in March 2014.
Lol.
We get there eventually. 😀
