Fought during September and October 1944, the Riga offensive is part of the major russian offensive in the Baltic for push away German from the region, the protagonist of this battle was the city of Riga itself strategical node for further naval operations for both sides and historical city who had strategic importance during the age of the old European empire and ww1 eastern front
Map feature
- The outskirts of Riga are plain with occasional hill, favouring a infantry tactics and guerillas warfare style than a full clash between two armies
- The city of Riga jewelry of the Baltic’s ancient city who once was on the eyes of all nation who wanted achieve supremacy in the region, in 1944 is no more than rubble after an intensive soviet campaign against the Germans defender, with collapsed building and road blocked by rubble the cooperation between infantry and tank is of primarily importance to get out alive from the battle
Map Promotion stuff
- Building art style in the city are completely different from what we see in Enlisted until today, the city itself during the history got influenced by German, polish, danish, Swedish and russian, and this is reflected on the city old building
- Baltic Partisian warfare, both side got their rank boosted by partisian formation who fought with German or soviet union for the independence of their country , classic case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend
- Extension to the rest of Baltic offensive, the Baltic offensive was a huge operation and Riga was just the beginning, in both Lithuania and Estonia the war rages as well and this map can be easily extended to the rest of the major battle in the Baltic

i wouldn’t be opposed to new things…
but imo existing one should be completed to be called as such.
for example, stalingrad.
where’s the gumrack station?
where’s the grain elevator?
where’s mamayev kurgan?
where’s pavlov house?
where’s the commisar area?
where’s the gumrack airfield ?
and many more.
same goes for normandy.
where’s any resemblent map of what can be defined a bocage?
where’s any carentan map?
where’s any caen map ?
where’s any falaise map ?
( granted, oman is ambigues at best which may be one of the above )
and you get what i’m getting at.
but maybe it’s just me.
although, they do certainly do not lack areas to make.

The issue isn’t the map Erika is how the map are added, and you know it already, every year we get two new locations (call them how you want campaign or frontline) this location open a new map pool, and time to time those map pool get upgraded with extensions
What you listed up is inside the map pool of Stalingrad and Normandy, are not new locations just extension of an already existent place, don’t get me wrong i want it too, but now i believe we should ask more different locations for have sufficient of them for split them in all BR, without keep using Stalingrad and rezhev as high Br map for example because we lack end war locations, and having all BR with their unique maps and location for make every BR a fresh experience
Very cool of course, but there is many many battles and offensives that would be just as fitting.
Saying that I think a map based around the defensive battle of Narva would be great, you could have a winter version with ice to cross or a warmer variant with swamps instead, might make a cool update as well to have varied terrain types so tanks should avoid more swampy areas for fear of bogging down or getting stuck.
