Which "Games Depot" ?

I've uploaded a new scenario to the games depot - "Fall Blau 1942".
It's a pretty big one covering events on the eastern front from June 29, 1942 to spring 1943. There are more than 1500 units of various types on each side. I'm experimenting with a logistics system that I think works pretty well on its own terms.
Have a look if you're an "easterner" -- feedback welcome.

Looks interesting.

"Fall Blau 1942" is a brand-new scenario far enough along that I'm looking for a little feedback, just to be a little clearer.
I did one called "Operation Blau", which you might be referring to, awhile ago that deals with roughly the same time period at (if memory serves) 50km-scale.
This scenario is at 5km scale - a much more tactical/operational treatment, new much bigger map, and with some new ideas. Per the notes it can be played against a human opponent or solitaire playing both sides, but not against the PO. all the best bt

thanx mb
The OOB is "reasonably accurate" with a few simplifications and tinkering with placement -- I think. I need to look at the TO&Es again. soviet OOB is a little more "simplified" than the axis especially in the reinforcing armies which clump a year's worth of piecemeal reinforcements into armies to make gameplay a little more straightforward.
I didn't try to follow all the unit and formation changes from june 42 to may 43. that's interesting chrome but doesn't materially change the flow of the game i think.

Very interesting supply rules. Looks good. Though there is one thing that irritates me: Why have italian and rumanian units 80% proficiency, just as german units?
Nice catch... Air units as well have really low proficency (german for example, fighter, maybe it was tested that way?).
There is also a gaping hole south east of Velikie Luky for Germans to plug (with what hehe?) and on some other places (one around Sychevka) but some can argue that Soviets has their holes as well.
Some units are divisions and some are regiments etc... well it must be playtested... [:D]
Daniel McBride also toyed with this idea but Brian made this first.
Also, there is no ports - maybe better... Airfields are also somewhere scarce and somewhere in big numbers... there is also no ships in black sea etc...
