Silvanski -> GTD 1944-1945 update coming soon (6/10/2009 6:55:12 AM)

An extensive update of Gotterdammerung 1944-1945 will be released soon
Some info on the supplemental Festung Deutschland variant
In this variant of Gtd 44-45 the PO and deployment have been altered to model some "what-if?" situations:
In the West we may see "Unternehmen Herbstnebel" (Operation Autumn Mist), an offensive planned by Field Marshal Walter Model and his Army Group B operational staff in late 1944. It envisages a limited attack targeting the Allied forces.
--------
In the East there's Guderian's "Operation Schlittenfahrt" (Sleigh Ride), a sane pull-back from the main defenses along the Vistula, out of range of the opening Russian barrage (an operation historically nixed by Hitler)

--------
During the Battle Of The Bulge. Patton plans to have the Third Army's right flank corps, the XII, attack further eastward.
--------
During the Vistula-Oder operation Zhukov wants to advance directly on Berlin, as the German defences had largely collapsed.
Historically the exposed northern flank of the 1st Belorussian Front, along with a German counter-attack (Operation Sonnenwende) against its spearheads, convinced the Soviet command that it was essential to clear German forces from Pomerania before the Berlin offensive could proceed.
