Planning map and history

[goranw]

Interesting to see maps mods in different posts.
Thought of showing some new mods but realized its perhaps best to begin with the WitE-1 maps.
Ex. Mostly 4.TGA.
Here are 7 playable modded maps and one barely playable (The last one).
1 and 2 starting up WitE-1 maps. Note the thin white lines
in squares that should make it resemble a real map.
3. I think this is Red Marcus mod (Tell me if I am wrong!)
4. This I think is a Jison map.
5.is a map with overlay from a vegetation map.(The most beautiful one)
6 A black/white one. Beautiful to play with colourfull counters.
7.An overloaded version but full with information. One version had most of known airfieds
8.Typical german map overlay. Only playable? in middle and western areas
because of the fact that the original map was a bit shrewed in east.
Must be closely changed to correspond in facts.

Turn 15 28-sept. Ai-Ai. 41-scenario.
AGN and air war. Game airfields ( Luftflotte 1+2) and historical (red dots).
Historical frontline. Occupation dates. Game units.
All based on map mod by Overkill01.
In many ways quite historical.

Turn 25 7-dec. Ai-Ai.
Game and historical frontline.
Unit locations game and OKH..
Onto map mod by Overkill01.
A sort of evaluation;
Newa line holds. Oranienburg pocket exists.
Tichwin attack difficult to make historical.
Instead an attack south at soviet armegruppe Nowgorod.

A hasty view of 4 maps. All beautiful in their one sense.
1. Game base map. 2."Generals map". 3."Rain map". 4."Fire in the east map".
I hope no person takes offense as the tiles are perhaps not fully representative.

Looked at the interesting scenario Vistula to Berlin from a simulation point of view.
So Ai-Ai. From start to Turn 14 when it said small victory for soviet forces. 20 turns possible.
In first picture turn 13 first attack on north-west Berlin from north.3 units attacking.
After many battles still defending axis unit in the hex.
Second picture; first attack on north-east Berlin from north and east. Initially 4 units.Fortress city.
Again many battles and finally retreating/routed german unit.
Third picture; south Berlin attacked where OKH and another unit are located.Initially 6 units attacking..
OKH moves later to Genthin where also a SS unit is located.
In picture 4; turn 14 from axis view is showing.
Historically Berlin falls 2-May. Around turn 13 the soviet forces were in the Oder area.
(Sorry for naming Havel river Hawel)( R-ZUG = Rückzug = Retreat ( White square above if routed)
