This's the first map of Russia after the Barrikady (Stalingrad) series. The idea is to try to reflect the characteristics of the Russian territory, with large areas of land. This does not mean that visibility is "infinite" since large crops provide some visual coverage.

Leader Rietscher refers to "Senior Sergeant Georg Rietscher." Most of the names that I have used for the Leaders of Heroes and Leaders mod correspond to real soldiers. It's a small tribute to the heroes who fought in all the armies of the Second World War. Georg Rietscher ended his participation in the war with the rank of Lieutenant. He received many medals, including the prestigious Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes), the highest military award of the Third Reich during World War II.

Regarding the images, I use many sources. For example, in the image you have selected, if you look a little, you will see that Major Sergeant "Steiner" is present. The original image is that of the famous Nebraska actor, James Coburn, in his magnificent performance in the famous Sam Peckinpah film, Cross of Iron (1977). The idea of ​​using famous actors who have interpreted war films is also a tribute to these actors, directors and their films.

Finally, I don't know the "evil boss in Book of Eli movie."

That's neat you put a lot of thought into your images and names. I like how you respect all the participants in the war.
The terrain really looks good. I would like to do a battle there.

As for 'evil boss in Book of Eli movie' you can see Leader Rietscher at about 0:53 in this short trailer.

Yes!!!. When I saw the trailer, I remembered. Also, I've seen the movie a long time ago. Denzel Washington, performs a good interpretation.

Regarding the Brialystok board, it appears in the first and second scenario of the Grossdeutschland series, which you can download from the thread Scenarios, as usual.

I love that Eli movie. Denzel Washington is my favorite actor with strong charisma on screen.

Thanks for the tip about the Brialystok board. Maybe I can do another short story about another dismal failed German assault under my shoddy command.

Great news!

I still remember your excellent way of narrating the bloody struggle in the ruins of the Barrikady factory.

It was a great show! Highly recommended for friends of Heroes of Stalingrad and, of course, of Heroes and Leaders mod.

https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4566675

Recommendations for the commander of the Kampfgruppe Harnert ("Großdeutschland" Regiment):

Speed, this is the important thing: speed. Don't waste time with your vehicles eliminating or breaking Soviet units that you find along the way. Your vehicles have to leave the obstacles behind. Your infantry embarked on the vehicles can handle them. You have to neutralize the town that allows the board exit of your avant-garde vehicles. Use the Sturmgeschütz IIIC to control the Soviet mechanized reinforcements (1st Battalion, 61th Tank Regiment, 30th Tank Division) that will arrive to stop the German advance.

Speed and courage, commander

Yes, "the battle of Barrikady was quite brutal and intense."

The Germans were in a closed city, unable to impose their great mobility, confined in a house-to-house battle. The Soviet soldiers achieve to fix the German units and approached them so much that the German artillery and bombers lost their support capacity to avoid casualties by "friendly fire."

But in "Brialystok cauldron scenario" the Grossdeutchsland regiment still had the capacity of speed, taking advantage of its complete motorization, which allows it to take advantage of its infiltration capacity in the precarious Soviet front as well as cause the effect of surprise and confusion in the Soviet rearguard.

It's a very different picture and the tactic must also be ..........

Sounds like the Grossdeutchsland has a slightly better chance of grinding through the Soviet defenses.

The German vs. Soviet advantage ratio is 3 ÷ 4 (71%). You already know that all the scenarios are balanced so that the human side and the AI side are more or less balanced .....
