Improving the German 1941 OOB

Post by Teo41_ITA »

Hi everyone,

the starting OOB in 1941 for the Axis is not entirely correct. According to Leo Niehorster's Orbats:

- L AK (Army Corps), reserve of HGN (Army Group North) and its subordinate 'Polizei' Division and 86. ID were still back in Germany and France respectively;
- LI AK was still under operational control of 12. Armee and both its subordinated 79. ID and 113. ID were located in Germany;
- 52. ID (assigned to LIII AK of HGM [Army Group Center]) was still under the command of Heeresgruppe D in France.

Notably, R. Kirchubel in his "Operation Barbarossa" (Osprey publishing) shows the 'Polizei' Division in the rearguard of HGN.

While I understand that some sources may conflict, I would suggest to remove the aforementioned units from the map and make them spawn on turn 1 or 2, as according to Dr. Niehorster's site such reinforcements would have reached the frontline by July 4th.

Of course, if the sources used by the developers indicate something else, please just ignore my post! [:)]
