Status: offline 		Perhaps not a planning map in real sense. More a situation map (Lagekarte) with small unit identifications.
Colour coded for type. Ai-Ai play. Latest version. -41 scenario. History occupation dates,
Long. Latitudes.
Remarkable is the game knowledge to follow the historical flow.
Thats difficult to achieve. It means that the game has a simulation capacity.
Compare game frontline turn 25 with 2 historical fronts. Turn 20 and 25. That is 2-nov and 7-dec.
Of course there are deviations.
The Ai didnt realize it shouldnt take Sewastopol in -41 and passing a bit over Newa,
Donets and the Kertsch strait.

Status: offline 		Part of a "planning map" regarding the Road to Leningrad scenario. Latest version.
Game situation contra historical. Game turn 10 24 aug.
Historically turn 5-10 and 15. = 20-july, 24-aug. and 28 sept.
Game units ( colour coded in type)and also historical ones from a OKH-Karte 24 aug.
German historical depots.
It shows also a game attack (big flag) SSW Narwa. (Kampf are units in battle)
Historical occupation dates in yellow. Airfields triangular with level.
Fortress level= white resp red on black back ground. Ex Oranienburg 5.
Long. Latitude.
Small dots in unit hexes show movement possibility resp. attached units.

A sort of evaluation of the game performance as a simulation is that its good.
A bit forward against Tallin and a bit after east of Lake Peipus.
I would guess its a bit difficult for the Ai to handle a divided attack on sides of the Peipus see
that later on combines against Leningrad.

41-scenario. Ai-Ai Turn 15 28-sept.Latest version.
Game situation compared to history.
See frontlines.
You can also see national unit flags, type color coded units, some logistics,
fortress levels, if could or had been moved and if added subordinated units on axis side.

As before a proof of a certain simulation capability. Difficult to achieve.
Front to advanced on the Chrimea and SW area of Moscow. Odessa fallen.

In reality of course just the starting fields in the game.
First picture was german intelligence 1. feb-42. (Onto the game map) Source german airfield atlas.
Second picture is really used german fields sept-41. Source OKH-map
Third is soviet intelligence july-41. Soviet airfields categorized. ( hexes and airfields from game map).
Source Oldmap.org part of lenoblo-aero-1941.
Interesting to compare and seeing ongoing game play influence.

Ai- Ai play. Script and soviet Ai answer. V. 00.11.
"Bialystok pocket". Purple is historic advance.
Very historical in the big lines. Great achievement considering that the result
also must be a starting point for future realistic Ai-play..
A bit infront of actual situation regarding passing Daugava river and east of Lwow.
A bit after in reducing the pocket.

Road to Leningrad. Ai-Ai from 22-june. Up to start turn 17. Game situation 12 Oct.
Historical frontlines turn 15 (yellow) 28 sept and turn 20 (green) 2-nov.
Up to Newa. Oranienburg pocket. On the road up to Tichwin.
A bit too advanced north-east lake Lake Ilmen.

Turn 2 Axis. Ai-Ai.
After script turn 1 and soviet new lines.
Historical occupation dates and frontline 29 june.
Comparision between the 41-scenario and the RtL-scenario.
Personally I prefer the RtL-script but I know its difficult to evaluate
the big "necessary Ai-concept" that is a must to further game Ai-development

AGN- air war -41. Movement and deployment.
Game air development contra history air war (Jagdgeschwaders)(Yellow stars).
Turn 1-5-10-15 and 17.
Schematic in the sense that I avoided to identify the groups.
Black squares supply with importance for also the air.

Status: offline 		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.

A sort of evaluation;
Newa line holds. Oranienburg pocket exists.
Tichwin attack difficult to make historical.
Instead an attack south at soviet armegruppe Nowgorod.

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.
