Berlin '45: Hypothetical OOB

[HirooOnoda]

I know that one day we will see this title produced for the PC series. I'm curious though how the question of the **volkstrum** will be handled though.

I was taking a numerous eastern-front/Berlin games I had or had access to and noticed that many of them don't bother to include these units. It you take a look at Schewpunks AGW they have a screen shot of the situation at the Oder river where the Russians have the Germans outnumbered by about 20-1 in units-and the only units displayed on the German side appear to be either SS or wehrmacht units. No SA, HJ or Volkstrum units.

Isn't this significant deletion of an important force on the German side? My research indictates that there were tens of thousands-if not hundreds of thousands of these ad-hoc units formed by the Germans in the spring of '45. And they did have an impact upon the Russians as they advanced on Berlin and in the fighting in Berlin.

So how would, hypothetically speaking of course, a B'45 game handle such a large number of units that appear out of nowhere? Will it be like how the Partisans are generated in Minsk '44?

Sign me curious.
