Great site! - Fhil - 07-22-2012 Gents, I´ve found out this link saved somewhere deep in my computer. Amazing stuff on the small unit´s actions  I´ve just read an article about one KV-1 tank blocking the entire german bridgehead near Rossienie. It begins with the map 17, check it out, I must only highly recommend. There is one scenario covering Rossienie battle in the AoTR right? There are KV-1s as well I think. Amazing how one tank was blocking German positions into extent that the Germans had to eat their emergency supplies, while trying to destroy that tank, even the mighty 88 didn´t work. I won´t reveal how it ended, check it out guys!  http://allworld.startlogic.com/Small-Unit-Actions-During-German-Campaign-in-Russia.html I also see an article about the Capture of Balta....I´m starting to feel that some of these were used by the scenario designers RE: Great site! - Mad_Dog - 07-26-2012 That is a cool site, thanks for the link. :) RE: Great site! - Ozgur Budak - 07-26-2012 RV has a couple of scenarios from this book. RE: Great site! - gabeeg - 07-27-2012 Thanks for sharing...it sucks you in...I keep finding more and more interesting articles..

The Russians use numbers similar to the German method; even if they used letters, the cyrillic alphabet would not have resulted in A, B, C, but A, B, G, D, Y, Z, E, T, I, etc and even then that is my corruption of the cyrillic letters into the Roman equivalent. ASL was always a pretty good guide and the US Army "Green Book" series and Marine Corps "Maroon Books" are great sources as well. |
