VCS Salerno (almost to ready to ship)
MMP is proud to announce the creation of a new series of games, the "Variable Combat Series (VCS)". The series opener is VCS Salerno, a game undertaking the nearly impossible task of depicting the 1943 Allied invasion of Southern Italy and places all of the invading forces on a single mapsheet.
The map is divided into individual sections depicting the main areas of Operation Avalanche. Map Section A depicts the main invasion area at 1 mile per hex. Map Section B, also at 1 mile per hex, contains strategic ports, highways and the main Axis airbase at Foggia. Finally, Map Section C at 3 miles per hex, portrays two other important operations, the capture of Taranto (Operation Slapstick) and the capture of the Calabrian Penninsula (Operation Baytown).
Map sections are linked by using "Transit Tracks", which represent 20-40 miles of terrain and must be controlled to maintain supply. The 6 tracks provide the central focus to any German resistance to the invasion and the goal to any Allied success.
In addition to the historical campaign, which spans 18 game turns, or 4 game turns in the short invasion-only scenario, 3 alternate history scenarios are also included.
VCS Salerno has the following components:
- Two 22" x 24" full-color maps
- One and a half sheets of 1/2" counters
- One VCS Standard rulebook
- One VCS Salerno Exclusive rulebook
- One Player Aid Chart
- Two dice
VCS Salerno is still available on preorder for only $31.50. Don't miss out on your chance to own the premier game of what promises to be an exciting line of games.
