An LPS bonus mini-game, War with a Vengeance is a solitaire simulation of the defense against the V-1
(Vergeitungswaffe or Vengeance Weapon) campaign against Great Britain.
Each turn represents 10 days where a random number of V-1 rockets are launched from sites in France Against London.
The player takes on the role of the English defense forces to deploy assets and intercept the incoming V-1 Rockets.
Options allow the English to commit forces to direct interception, launch site interdiction,
or to support the Normandy invasion in an attempt to capture and neutralize the launch sites.
With limited resources you must decide as the English how to best protect London and eliminate the threat
of "Hitler's Vengeance".
War With a Vengeance! looks at the two-month V-1 campaign which amounted to a “Second Battle of Britain.”
Paul Rohrbaugh’s design pits an escalating level of British air defense against the world’s first “cruise missile,”
the “doodle-bugs” that brought high explosives and Hitler’s efforts at “revenge” to southern England at 400 mph.
The Allied player gets a variable collection of high performance fighters (including the first Allied jet - the Gloster Meteor)
plus ground defenses and representation of the Royal Navy.
The game system (acting as the German player) allocates V-1s per target and time of launch, aiming to fool and overwhelm the defenders,
perhaps even completely disrupting the Normandy landings! Random events add chaos and surprises, while the Allied player can choose which path to follow
- focusing entirely on stopping the V-1s or allocating resources to the D-Day beaches to speed up ground efforts to capture the launch sites.
The choices are yours, in this tense little game with 100 counters, and a full color, 17"x 22” map. |
