Map(s)

[HOTEC]

Is there any map available for planning use?
Is there any artistic map as alternative like the one done in old WitE?

Six useful maps here (2 in each sector; "The Northern Sector" link, etc.):

Should a map for WitE2 be available?

[HOTEC]

There are 122 maps, 6 in Appendices in
Atlas of the Eastern Front 1941-45 by Robert Kirchubel, published by Osprey Publishing.
ISBN: 978 1 4728 0774 8.
It helps the scenario designer a great deal, I can imagine.

Is there any map available for planning use?

No - the map is created in game as a mosaic. You could create one by pasting screenshots together.

Is there any artistic map as alternative like the one done in old WitE?

No - but then again the game hasn't even been released yet; but I'm sure someone will mod one up in a week or two after it does. After all it only took us two years to develop if from the WitW map.

No map for planning use.
Thanks anyway.

I'm sure someone can make a full-sized planning map after the game is released! [:)]

Actually I use the six maps mentioned (such as "The Offensive by Army Group North 22-30 June 1941"), all six of which depict corps movement in relation to cities and towns (through the end of July, for all three Army Groups). Using this I create a spreadsheet with hex targets for each corps. At least I did this for DC:Barbarossa (as well as having tabs for other administrative tasks; R&R units, managing reinforcements, etc.). When playing WitE1, although I created no spreadsheet, I do use these maps to guide the movement of the various German corps.

By the end of July - if not sooner - the Soviet deployment (and pincer movement opportunities I took advantage of) often means that the historical corps movement often no longer applies.
While there exist other maps covering this topic, these seem to work for me.
