German Div HQ ranges in Smolensk?

[Dog Soldier]

Liebchen,

You are correct. What we were discussing was the length of that leash. It is better to keep your troops in command range as this is no small matter in a balanced scenario. Upon reflection, I am wondering if the restrictive terrain had something with reducing the HQ command range in this title compared to the command ranges in T41. The desert does allow for easier radio communications.
Russia, near Smolensk, unlike the desert has a lot more trees. :whis:

As to the city of Smolensk, I think it was the factory grounds that mattered more than the vodka. I have read the factory was much like the ones the Germans would encounter a year later at Stalingrad. Just a smaller scale.

Maybe Glenn would consider upgrading the map for that hex to industrial with the extra percentage to protect the defenders. I do not think that terrain type was considered when S41 came out.
