Lets keep this all friendly please. Brazenman your posts are provocative so please tone it down.

Oh, I agree with McNail
It's time to teach good manners Brazenman.
He really is behaving provocatively, sometimes...

I hope that you will be able to test the new part of map and you will be able to send me the list of errors and inaccuracies.

Thank Karaganov
You draw a stunning maps.

@McNeil
I very much hope that the developers will be able to implement something like that in Soviet Corps. Enough of you to mark time in the same place. It is time to move forward

I want to play single scenarios on big and beautiful maps

Karaganov

When will be scenario ready for your new map?
We look forward

Svetlanka,
you have to understand, that AI is very blunt even on small maps
so no one will do single scenarios for big maps

Svetlanka,
you have to understand,

That this is only part of the big map
After Karaganov draws a map completely, he will make a new scenario for it

The circuit of the German airfields in East Prussia

The list of Luftwaffe airbases in Poland 1939-1945.

We think it would be great to implement the following scenarios for multiplayer

Battle for the Minsk, 1941
Battle for the Dubno, 1941
Battle for the Odessa, 1941
Battle for the Tallin, 1941
Battle for the Smolensk, 1941
Battle for the Kiev, 1941
Battle for the Murmansk, 1941
Battle for the Crimea, 1941
Battle for the Leningrad, 1941
Battle for the Moscow, 1941

What do you think about it?

Excellent work
But I do not see the Soviet fortified zones
Will you create Soviet fortified zones?

after 50 moves

After fierce fighting, my troops are retreating from positions to the north of the Crimea

Dzhankoi the main railway junction of Crimea
For me it is important to keep it under control as much as possible

Base of Tendra is still under my control
http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/28894378/screen-010.jpg

Because of this I am able to deliver their convoys to the ports of Crimea

But in any case, the Air Force Luftwaffe makes a lot of problems in the Black Sea for me.

I suspect that I am greatly ruffled 6-7 enemy divisions.
I think that I will have 30-40 moves to correctly position the troops

Yes of course, I will implement the soviet fortified zones.
But first, I have to finish the map

Thanks for the info, it is very useful information

What do you think about it?

I am afraid that this is not practicable
Okay, I will try to make two big maps (for Western Front and Southern Front).
But who will draw other maps???

Karaganov

Could you add these units in file of equipment

As for - file equipment
You can write all your wishes in the mail Goga (in Russian). We will certainly discuss this.

Okay, I will contact Goga
We will have to add a GAZ-67 and Ford GPA also

About the new map
I see a couple of small bugs
1. You need to add the name to the lake near the settlement ТАЙНО (Озеро Тайно)
2. You need to add the name to the lake in the north of the map, in the north-east from the settlement ПОРЕЧЬЕ (Озеро Веровское)

after 70 moves

My troops have broken away from the enemy, and took up positions on the line Sevastopol - Crimean mountains - Akmonaysky Isthmus

Due to the fact that I was holding for a long time under the control of the railway, all of my divisions have kept fighting capacity.

Since the enemy continues to redeploy its troops, I have the time to top up their units and arrange reserves.

Soon, the fun begins

In my opinion it is a gross mistake of the opponent. He managed to concentrate a lot of troops on the narrow Arabat Spit. I hope that my aircrafts and ships of the Azov flotilla will create many problems for him.

The enemy launched another assault on Tendra
Without the support of fighter aircraft, I can not stay there for long.
But in any case - Tendra was reliable shield for naval convoys from Odessa

@Brazenman are you playing this as a MP game or against the AI?

Btw, looking at the pics I wonder if certain unit types shouldn`t be present in less numbers or at all. For example:

105 mm (4.13 in) leFH 18/3 auf Gw B-1/B-2 740(f) - only 13 were produced so I wonder if it justifies having two full strength units on the same map.
http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/f ... B1_bis.php

ADGZ - the Austrians only made 27 of them and the Germans another 25 starting with 1942, but they seem to have been mostly used in the Balkans for security operations:
http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/n ... n_ADGZ.php

The Romanian OA vz.30 - in March 1939 9 Czechoslovak OA vz.30 crossed the border into Romania, but there is no evidence that they were ever used in combat (as opposed to security of industrial sites in the country), let alone of any use on the eastern front.

I guess it all depends on how much variety and liberty of action you want to enable on this scenario.
