Thank you.

Status: offline 		Or can anyone link to a good and detailed relief map of European Russia? I have Googled and can't find one with the right level of detail for this game. I want a map to link to, to see what's out of the screen shots, with rivers, hills, cities and main towns!!

Of course an online historical atlas would be even better!

Many thanks

Hi!
Go to this interesting map site.
http://english.mapywig.org/news.php
Then go to german maps. There you find, among others,
one overview map in scale 1:2,5 M from-44

Many thanks, Goran. This looks great - although I'm going to have to get used to some of the city names (Ssmolensk is just for starters!)

It also looks like there are loads of other really useful maps on this site - I had a quick look at the more detailed Narwa map for example! A great resource for scenario builders.

For anyone else who wants the big map, here's the direct link (I hope it works):
http://www.mapywig.org/m/German_maps/1919-1945/other/Europa_1_2.5M_Europaeisches_Russland_1944.jpg

Having saved it (it's quite a big file) and opened it in Windows Photo Viewer I can can now easily zoom in and out to see where the rivers and cities are in relation to each other.

Thanks again - maybe we'll have a PBEM one day
Stuart

Status: offline 		Hi again.
When it comes to maps I am very interested.
The link given above is, as said, to a great site.
Another one that I want to remind about is
http://www.wwii-photos-maps.com
The founder of it is John Calvin.
In the beginning you could buy maps there but now its free for researchers.
It has many very interesting maps of different types from detailed big scale maps to
air view photos and small scale " Lagekarten"
I guess that game makers, scenario builders and gamers in a wide sense are "researchers".
Trying to make historically correct maps and OOB's,
compairing different sources and asking questions.

For those interested in WW2 maps. One site that has a discussion is
http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=74&page=1&pp=20&sort=lastpost&order=desc&daysprune=-1
My site for uploads is www.mannaberg.se ( Although not so active since WitE takes all free time.)

zoom2 variant with names from a German Operation Karte of Russland -42.
