Also, just an observation....

"Then makes times your amateur scenarios with modern maps." ('German') "I prefer geographically and historically correct work." (English)

Basically grammar errors, but no serious typo's! Amazing!

The youtube link at the bottom of Dumnorix's post is a nearly 6-minute Soviet Army Tribute.  It's worth a look too.  Thank you, Dumnorix.

Here is a small scanned fraction of my private collection for those who have not already seen it. It's all western front though.

I think that is really strange. With all the open area's in Russia and the considering how long it takes to grow a forest you would think that the last thing they would do is 'clear land'. Anyway, for now, I'll just use the maps that I have to make game maps and hope for the best. If someone finds some error, I can always change the original.

Thanks for the tip 'Dumnorix'. I don't think its really practical for me to actually become a member of a group, but you and anyone else are free to use anything I come up with.
