Moscow Defense Zone in Chelyabinsk?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Moscow Defense Zone in Chelyabinsk?

I am T25 of GC game and the Moscow DZ (the pink one) showed up in Chelyabinsk as opposed to Moscow area in all my previous games. Is that a new thing, is it WAD?

It's much better out of the way than occupying a hex you may need 3 units in to defend Moscow. I may use it on occasion to assign FZs to but that's about it.

Actually I kinda like it in Moscow area, that way it can command 2 Armies as in late 1941 there are too many soviet Armies and units and not enough Fronts. One can always relocate it to get it out of the way.

and just out of historical curiosity : were there really two HQs simultaneously in charge of the defense of the capital (Moscow Military District + Moscow Defense Zone) ?

DZ was a front-type HQ, commanding at least two armies in defense of Moscow. MD was an area command more related to administrative stuff like forming/training new units.
