Played Westfront on the map up to 10 march-45.
Same with WitE-2 on the map until same date.
This is the game result for the "Grossdeutsches Reich".
Long. Lat. Occupation dates.

Sorry no! Still 2 games but played to the same date.
Then combined onto a common map.

In order to evaluate as a simulation.
Again turn 10. 41-scenario. Ai-Ai.
Game map with front on 24-aug.
In the game map added naming with old fonts,
historical airfields graded and named,
Lat. Long, some islands,
historical occupation dates and
international ferry marks.(Added a letter)
Mines areas early Barbarossa in the East Sea( not in The Finnish bay ).
Nothing of this game adds alter game play.
Afterwards frontlines historically at turn 2-5-10-15.

Latest game map. To be seen as a planning map-Lagekarte.
Nothing added into it that alters game play.
Just more information.Ex more naming in an old font.
Historical airfields. Named.
Red is Fliegerhorst or Einsatzhafen.
Green is Feltflugplatz or if used by a german air group also Landeplätze.
Sources are of both german and russian origin.
Of course just a small part of airfields used, especially after summer-43.
Lat. Long. Occupation dates from german side -41 and -42 to the east.
From russian side -43, -44 and -45 to the west.
Some early mine fields, pre war borders and lighthouses.

Vistula (Weichsel)-Berlin scenario.
In some way a real main scenario. Opposite of Barbarossa.
Played to axis turn 13, 7-4-45.
Ai-Ai. As a simulation a bit ahead of history in
both main directions Berlin and Wien.
Compare with occupation dates.
If a "W" its a western ally occupation.
Lat. Long. All historical main airfields.
Lighthouses. Some early german mine fields in the Ostsee.
A bit more formal ferry signs. Extended naming
and historical fonts. Changes dont alter game play.
At least I think so.

WitE-2 airfields from a geographical point of view.
Soviet area.
Goran

[goranw]

If scheme koncentrated to Estonia.
German, allied, soviet and post war research. Sometimes air groups mentioned and time based at that airfield
Sources notated. Among data german Luftwaffe plan quadrat in maps 1;300 000. Ziel numbers from Fliegeratlas-42.
Row after geographical facts show if airfield is notated on my WitE-2 game map. Perhaps not all-out reliable compilation.

[goranw]

Perhaps a bit off topic but here I go on with Lettland-Latvia.
WW2 airfields. Compilation from different named sources.
Obvious and impossible to avoid are differing facts especially about location and categorisation of airfields.
Goran

[goranw]

Here are from different named sources airfields in Litauen- Lithuania
Goran

[goranw]

A real german ww2 map. 5-41. Scale 1:2 500 000.
Strassenkarte Europäisches Russland.
Onto the game hex net. Adjusted projection.
Borders as of 6-41. Most maps in this scale have
mostly other dates.

[goranw]

Deutsche and Russische Flugplätze 02-42.
From german airfield atlas.
Localisation, classification and number.
Goran

[goranw]

Dates and location of fighting german airgroups -41
Onto our game map with names and hexes.
Added historical airfields.
Occupation dates. Lat. Long.
Overlay german map Europäisches Russland-41.
Goran

[goranw]

Airfields 41-45. Compilation.Sources listed.
Location and time for german air groups.
Different sources have different time spann.
WitE-2 airfields specially listed.
x or y in column left of number in German flugplatzatlas means it is on my game map.
Sources are of course a bit conflicting. No real evaluation from my side.
Errors are bound to exist in the list.
In this case Whiterussia- Belorussia.

A sort of geographical OOB to see opposing forces.
Originally intended to be used in connection with frontline game map of WitE-1.
So, made many years ago.
Perhaps of some interest?

Game map with added longitude and latitude lines.
Every second longitude line and every latitude main line.
That corresponds to a german main war map serie in scale 1: 300 000.
They are geographically named and north-south rows have its upper latitude.
West to east they are named a letter, ex P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-A-B-C
and so on that decides the longitude. Ex T 55 Wilna.
Name Wilna. Upper latitude 55. Letter T longitude 24-26 (or to be exact 24.20 till 26.20).
In german Fliegeratlas ( I mostly use the one from 42-02-01) every airfield is localised on such a map.
Of course not always correct,
In the game map the german occupation dates are in the east and the soviet dates are in the west.
Also some main light houses and minefields around the Barbarossa start. Added german naming.
( Interesting is the swedish minefield just ready at Barbarossa start)
