Baltic Front led by Kuznetsov should be named Northwest front as this is historical accurate. If "baltic front" is reffering to military districts we should be consistant and change the names of southwest and southern front as well.
Further on I am very doubtful to the location of soviet units. Based on what sources are locations made and is the number of the armies correct?

Ok, on the list.

How could we know what sources they used? It was a commercial game, thus its development was closed and is known to only a few people I'd say. Probably Gary and at most a dozen folks at SSI. When it comes to game data, we're totally on our own.

Actually it is my scenario now basically, and I posted the sources in another thread. The original was fairly close in many ways, but it was off on some deployments. This doesn't mean the current one is correct, but it is based on sources.

Sorry, I didn't know. Is any of your sources online?

www.freeport-tech.com/WWII has excellent information regarding German and Soviet tank strengths as of June 22, which was my primary source of the tank strengths. I also used a few other sites for further tank information, which could have been out of several - it has been well over a year so I am not sure. The rest of what I did was based on the two sources I listed.
I also used other sources for some of the other scenarios, such as a Kursk book with tank strength and OOB information for the 1943 campaign. I didn't make nearly the change to the other scenarios though, in part because I didn't have as much information to work with as with 1941.

Hello All.
Kuniworth, would you like to try out my custom OBWIR?
I too based a lot of my OBWIR on Freeport-tech.com/WWII.
But I also got a lot of usefull data from the feldgrau.com, PKKA,and the Kursk! website; And the 1941 website for some excellent deplyment maps. (unfortuately PKKA and 1941 are in Russian.)
