C3V Highlight 4-6-11

THE C3V HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK MAKING MORE HEROSCAPE FOR YOU:

Capt. John Varan has been summoned to Valhalla



The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Cosmic Justice set. Its model number and name is 019, 020, 021/Sgt. Rock or 207/Gen. Frank Rock



Sweltering jungle heat blanketed the encampment of a Combined Action Platoon assigned to one of the hamlets within the Marine tactical area of responsibility. This fifteen man rifle squad had orders to protect the Chu Lai village from communist forces positioned just miles outside the walls. The Marine Corps attempt at counterinsurgency was proving effective, however this small village have been in the firefight time and time again between GVN and Viet Cong troops. Today was a sorrowful time, as the 9 remaining members of the Chu Lai CAP stood at attention to honor their fallen brethren from the events of a preemptive strike from enemy troops.


"Second Lieutenant Timothy Adams!"

The colonel of a nearby post called out as he began the roll call. There was no answer. The colonel repeated the Lieutenant's name twice. Stern faces of battle worn marines fought hard not to betray their grief to the loss of their companions.

"Gunnery Sargent Ulysses Barrow!"

The colonel continued calling the names of the absent platoon members. Finally he came to the last name on the list. He paused, and in a cracking voice he called the last name.

"Captain John Varan!"

He took a breath, and called the name two more times, the last time in a strained and forced voice. The colonel was the person who had assigned Captain Varan to this post due to a previous disagreement the two men had. After the names were called, a solemn Butterfield's Lullaby was played, accompanied by a 3 volley salute. The men at attention saluted the flag. The colonel stood after the ceremony, looking beyond the trees of the Southeast Asia jungle.

"May you find peace above, Captain Varan."


General Jandar kept a watchful vigilance over the many platoons of honorable Marines that "were all alone in Indian Country." He valued the men and the duty they sought to protect and improve the lives of thousands of citizens half a world away from their homes. When the Combined Action Platoon of the Chu Lai village experienced heavy concentrated fire from communist forces, Jandar intervened to save the lives of these men, so they would be able to instruct his forces in Valhalla what it truly means to be a hero. Captain John Varan was a paragon amongst this company of men, willing to take a bullet for a companion in order to assure that his men will eventually return home to their families. His valiant efforts in battle can now be seen in the fronts of Nastralund, against the innumerable hordes of Orcs and Marro that clog the pathways to the provinces beyond the country's borders.

The Era of FanScape: Collaboration and Continuity

The era of Fanscape is upon all of us and, working to keep the game continually growing, both C3V and SoV have decided to work together to create a unified, fully compatible repertoire of units, focused on expanding the official game together. What this means is that all concepts going through each group will go through a final review and approval so that every unit is fully compatible with all other units that are in review or development in either group. We want to ensure that all new units from the SoV and C3V are compatible with each other and with all the Heroscape canon. Long live Heroscape!

The C3V has been hard at work getting the next wave ready (which means I actually get to do something ). We're ready to start making some previews/other news releases. LordE and I are in charge of these, but the entire C3V, especially the ERB, have put a lot of time into writing these things. These will probably replace W@HS on some weeks, depending on how often we decide to make a release (that is still in voting last I checked, I don't know how much you follow us).

That is all of course if you're ok with these. It's still your site after all.

Thanks, Chardar, and by extension the entire C3V team.
