It does make it more difficult to guess what battle it could be, although with the nations that were mentioned Fall Gelb is still the most likely candidate.
The map was done by Dave 'Blackie' Blackburn and really is superb. We have done a few minor tweaks based upon further research for particular scenarios, but all in all its Dave's work.
I'd need to go back and look at the size of the map vs prior titles, but we have as an experiment put the Moscow '42 map through the converter and created a 'monster' map. Don't read anything into that - it was a test to see what was possible. I believe the Civil War - Overland map was larger than Moscow '42 from memory.
The other good thing about the Panzer Battles 2 map is that a large amount of it is used within various scenarios. There isn't heaps of unused terrain, other than maybe water...

OJW, well aware of that!
That said there aren't a lot of reports of the bigger Kursk scenarios being played and they really do lend themselves to team play.
There will be some larger scenarios, but keep in mind we are working these with actions of a day in mind, rather than multiple days.
