after playing this game for awhile now one thing that stands out is the lack of important battles in the campaigns. there are some great maps that could be added to help make each campaign better
the battle of moscow is missing moscow.
normandy u could add a few maps like carentan, sainte marie du mont, pointe du hoc.
for the battle of berlin i think everybody would agree we need a map inside the reichstag. flak tower would also be a cool one.
for tunisia u could add kasserine pass. when u read the details of some squads it has kasserine pass already mentioned. i would like to see a night variation of the fortress map.
stalingrad i think needs a oil refinery map and of course a few snow maps.
The Germans never saw Moscow in the distance. The furthest point they reached was Khimki, there is a monument now where the Germans were stopped, and you canât see no Moscow from there.
Well if you ever come to Moscow region youâll see that to us natives it feels very familiar.
The grand Moscow map itself in the game files is called Volokolamsk iirc, which is a city ~100 km west of Moscow, the Monastery is most likely the Iosifo-Volotsky Monastery also located in that area, and the architecture/environment is very Central Russian.
Sorry if I am talking nonsense but wasnât the furthest advance about 14 kilometers from the city? I would expect to be able to see something from this distance, but I may very well be wrong. Anyway thanks for the information.
Wait, there isnât a book called something like Volokolansk Battle or anything like that? And one of the chapters has this guy commanding a barrage of artillery from a monastery steeple, just like we have on the Vysokovo Village map?
May the book be the actual inspiration for the Moscow Campaign⌠It looks so weirdly familiar to me
Well the furthest advance was exactly in the vicinity of modern day Khimki, where the monument is located (~25km from the Kremlin).
You can see in Google Street View how much âMoscowâ can be seen to the south, especially given that in the 1940s Moscow proper was smaller, so the best you could see is a road and some village houses, but not the downtown whatsoever.
Interesting, never read the book but the battle of Volokolamsk is rather famous, and there are a lot of monasteries in the area of Moscowâs âGolden Ringâ.
stalingrad needs pavlovâs house, grain silo, spartanovka village and red october factory as maps. but itâll take a while, so one step at a time.
normandy could have a unique map called ââmayenne bridgeââ, in it the allies are suppost to blow up the bridge, if they succeed, axis loses
they could potentially also get the battle of chambois, in that battle, the army group b historically got encircled by americans, and destroyed for the most part
yeah thats my bad for the moscow suggestion haha. also man normandy is lacking a lot more than i thought. no british and canadian soldiers is a shame as well considering half the maps in the campaign they fought in.
