Barbarossa PBEM campaing

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

That's why I mentioned about maybe breaking it down and doing a specific campaign broken down into areas and phases. Do phase one in every area before moving to phase two. I guess I am thinking of a mixe between a couple games. I keep using Market Garden as an example because it was the first thing that popped to mind about being easy to breakdown. A strategic map broken down to 4 major areas with each major area then broken down into several smaller areas

The 4 major areas - XXX Corps, 101 AB, 82 AB, Brit 1 AB. And along with the smaller areas within, it could be utilized as a strategic movement similar to Close Combat Bulge.

It would still be a major undertaking, but not as ambitious as Barbarossa. You could also make it on a 1:1 scale. Replacements would be negligible due to being a short campaign as compared to others.

You might want to talk to Von Earlman. He designed some rather large scenarios in that series and ran some team games. If I remember correctly they had a system to request to blow bridges and stuff like that so he could edit the map, so you had to plan ahead for different things. There were no VP hexes on the map, each side deciding on thier own objectives. I don't know much about, but talking to him or somebody else that was involved sure can't hurt.
