The earlier published version of this puzzle contained an annoying error. Huge thanks to Piff for spotting and reporting the error!
The puzzle below is the corrected version. It is very similar in concept to the original puzzle, the alterations make it quite a bit more approachable in my opinion. My apologies to all solvers for the earlier error.

This was excellent and fun to solve! The "All V's are given" rule is essential and leads to some of the most interesting logic in the puzzle.

Thank you for the kind words :) I also really like the logic following from negative constrains on V's and X's, both in solving and in setting!

Thx. A very enjoyable sudoku, in hindsight I should have used the letters to denote each line once found to make it a faster solve so that's something I learnt :)

did not need the (All the V's are given) rule. the line on box 1 was tricky it makes it almost a 4 star difficulty
