Planning map and history

[goranw]

Some projects are and some not. Here typical nostalgia.
Of course WitE-2 (onto Generals mod) but then Road to Moscow and
an idea about hex side rivers in TOAW.
Road to Moscow was too ambitious for its time.
Here part of startmap 22-6 and from start of op typhon.

Found some possible errors in the historical set on 22-6.
Therefore avoiding to show this research. Will rework it,
but its also obvious that the aspect of simulation and history seems to be regarded as a bit off topic.

Amazing post, btw. When I was a young man, I played War in Russia. Now, I just try to come to grips with WitE2.
