Valor & Victory: Shield of Cholm - out now
It’s January 1942 and the Soviet Red Army has begun a series of counter offensives against the German Army. The Germans have started to withdraw and have occupied the strategic town of Cholm. To keep the offensive going the Russians need to capture Cholm. The Germans, from their perspective, could ill afford to lose this strategic point. Very quickly, the town of Cholm became surrounded and was cut off, creating what was then called the Cholm Pocket.
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 you 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: you can manage Dice bias for a harder or easier game.

Valor & Victory: Shield of Cholm is coming soon
Cholm’s emergence onto the stage of historical events of World War II came about as a result of the Russian Winter Offensive of 1941-1942. 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, could ill afford to lose this strategic point.
Despite the appearance of a run of the mill Russian village, 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 DLC comes with an update of the base game:
Battle Generator
Create random scenarios
Choose the sides, scenario size and forces types
Fog of War
Per scenario option for opponents being hidden when not in LOS
Difficulty Balance
Manage Dice bias for a harder or easier game
The Shield of Cholm DLC is based on the Kampfgruppe Scherer supplement from Le Franc Tireur.
12 New Scenarios
Huge maps, larger than any released in Valor & Victory so far.
New Units
Partisans, Conscripts, Russian Assault Engineers
New terrain types

As the German assault continues, extra reserves are committed to the fight, pushed into the gigantic Stalingrad No1 Rail Station.
