Yes, that's Åland. If we ever get a new patch with extended map size, I'll include more parts of Finland.

Current status is that I probably won't ever release this scenario unless we get a new patch, so I can include the whole of Sweden in one map.

<r> So, this is still in the making, but since I'm hoping for extended map size and extended number of units per side, I haven't really done much the last few years but refining the current map and finalizing the OOBs for both sides (not only for southern Sweden but for northern Sweden and ...

<t> I just noticed that with a six-hour time scale, Soviet units can't reach mainland Sweden in one turn, so that'll allow the Swedish Air Force to make at least one attack (if they can spot the invasion force, I'll have to test that later), for the coastal defences, I've been thinking along the ...

I collected a few documents relating to the Battle of Berlin for a Close Combat 5-mod a few years ago. Tank strengths, unit deployment maps and other tidbits of information. I've made them available here:<br/>

As I am redoing the equipment db the Swedes will be using Assault Rifle Squads, but then again I can change the ratings to take into account the "soft" factors.<br/>

Either way, I would say. Two considerations: is the manpower more or less than the average squad? If they are twelve man squads to start with, for example, you might want to go with the latter of the two alternatives you've mentioned. Then ...

Yeah, Pelle has been of great help to me, but I didn't know he had a new site after TDG went down, so thanks for the link! It won't help very much in this particular case though as I'm creating a new equipment database and won't be using the original one. [:)]

<t> I am planning on creating a scenario involving a Soviet invasion of Sweden based on the Operation Garbo book series just as the scenario Nordic Light, but on 2.5 km/hex scale, and the map is all but done, so I'm focusing a bit more on the OOB now.<br/>

Legun, no matter how many unplayable hexes I add to the top and bottom, no second weather zone is available. No big problem really, but it'd be nice to get it to work.

<r> OMSBON was a special operations motorized brigade created by NKVD in 1941 to prepare for the destruction of important places and sites in Moscow, but also acted in an intelligence and counter-intelligence role.

The manual states that any scenario with a north-to-south lenght of 600-1199 km should have two weather zones, but testing this with a 300x300 hex map at 2.5 km/hex (which gives a lenght of 2.5*300=750 km) only gives you one weather zone. Why?

<r> Gamewise, I am not the one to tell, as I have not played TOAW very long, but when striving for realism, the answer is easy: battalions.<br/>

Tanks very seldom fight as individual companies. They almost always act in bigger formations, at least battalion-wise. Added to that, the ...

<t> Battalions are best for the 2.5 km/hex scale, IMO.<br/>
