I haven't played all the scenarios, so can't speak to each one individually. In my own somewhat limited play through, I generally found the maps too narrow and LOS generally open so flanking was difficult to impossible given the scenario length. If you tried a cautious probing flanking move, you ...

I'm too busy with FOG2 tournaments and MP campaigns to play V&V atm. I may resume in a few months when the current league season wraps up.

To be honest, I can't see the casual gamer sticking with V&V after a few frustrating outings.

I recently dove into V&V, buying all the DLCs. I started playing through scenarios and posted my experience and reactions in the following thread.

I agree with the previous comments about movement; it's very frustrating ...

My objective was to try the game out as designed. I realize you can easily change scenario length. Once I finished my planned play through, I'll have a better feel for how much longer I think a game should run.

I'm not interested ATM, in editing scenarios. I have downloaded a number of community ...

Stalingrad
Well, it’s on to the Eastern Front. I’m hoping things improve in this next DLC. Again, I’ll play the attacker in each scenario and hope for the best.

Game 1 – Bridgehead
A couple of victory hexes on the far edge of the map, never a good sign when you have a rather open village to ...

Game 10 Eagles
Need to capture a single victory hex. I have 9 squads and a pair of mortars. First time to get those so curious to see how effective they are. I can see about 6 German squads so the numbers are not promising. A HMG completely covers all approaches so will need to be taken out before ...

Game 9 Rangers Hold
Needed to capture a cluster of objective hexes. Two stacks of Rangers visible guarding outer edge. I had a half track and about a dozen squads for the job. A large woods and a few buildings presented a mostly screened approach from the left, so we went that way with everyone ...

Game 8 Collerville
Objective was to wipe out the enemy. A big city map, so I was really worried about time in this one. I had a tank and about a dozen or so squads for the job. Worried about ambushes, I started by probing left and right with a single squad, finding nothing on the left initially ...

Game 7 Southern Block
A single victory hex to secure behind wire and a bit of open ground. We have a pair of tanks and a couple of stacks of infantry, which seems a bit light as I figure there are at least 3 stacks of infantry and probably more based on past scenarios. In addition the tanks are ...

Game 6 The Bridge
Had to capture two objectives on opposite edges of the map with just 9 squads with six enemy squads immediately visible plus a HMG in a central building which could cover just about every avenue of approach. We dispatched 3 squads north behind a screening woods and six south ...

Game 5 St Marie
Another city clearing mission with a number of objective hexes scattered across it. A big town, a fair number of Germans in outposts visible on the outskirts. We skirted to our left, using some woods and buildings to screen our advance from most of the Germans. We took up positions ...

Game 4 Securing St. Laurent
We needed to secure several victory hexes on the far side of a town. I had 2 tanks for the first time, though with the narrow city streets, I wasn’t sure how decisive they might be. There were two long streets leading to the objectives with Germans visible at the far ...

Game 3 Rudder’s Rangers
Objective was to pin or eliminate all the enemy. We could see some barbed wire and foxholes on the map, so figured we’d find the enemy centered there towards the middle right. Some woods screened the approach so we headed for them first and were surprised to find a small ...

Game 2 Moch’s Battalion
I needed to secure 3 victory hexes. I had a lot of squads and several leaders including a -2 plus a couple of half tracks, so I was feeling more hopeful about this one. Alas, I didn’t look so closely and misjudged where one victory hex was, thinking it was further to the ...

Karvon’s Valor & Victory Play Through

This is going to be a journal of sorts sharing my experience and impressions of V&V as I have time to play through it.

My Background
I’m a 62 year old American teaching English at university in Japan. Prior to coming here, I taught history and computer ...

I'm having the same issue; is MP no longer supported???
