    The above image has been resized for your convenience :D

    My screenie looks east BTW, the top of the photo is to the west, note the late afternoon sun causing heavy shadows.

    No offence taken. I'm always happy to answer questions about my scenarios. Oddly enough when I put it together I thought someone might comment on too many craters... tongue.gif

    The scenario was put together for The Stalingrad Campaign I run over at We Band Of Brothers. It's meant to, along with all the bonus scenarios, give the 38 players an historical insight into other areas of the Stalingrad battle rather than just the factory fighting they are undergoing. The briefing itself is aimed at giving them 'the bigger picture' as a lot of them seem not to have read that much about the battle itself.

    A fun but maniacal history lesson if you will. ;)

    Thanks Michael, I believe the statue is where the title is in the first screenie from the game and in the overhead photo it should be central to the white area portrayed.

    Apparantly it took one full year for grass to show on the crest again. They are still uncovering bone fragments and war relics today.

    Just a note with craters, the scenario editor lets you add so many, eventually you reach a point where you start clicking near craters while you're adding them and they start disappearing instead...

    The map itself has some abrupt elevation changes about the crest and hill in general that also add to the crater like effect.

    This was the Aerial Photo I was working from displaying a liberal amount of craters but not total saturation in September 1942 when the scenario is based. I think there's a few trees around the outskirts too.

    I would imagine after 130 days of shelling there would be no grass on the hill, as stated in several written sources.

    Like I said, the link HERE is where you can probably get what you're looking for, but you might have to buy it. It's run by a German Veteren of Stalingrad, Geert Rottiers. He has many maps and aerial photos of the city and the factory complexes, they don't cost much, about $20 US and he ships them to your door inclusive... ;)

    Stuff like this yeah? The Red October Steel Works.

    I'm running a Stalingrad Campaign over at We Band of Brothers in CMBB for 38 players...

    Found HERE at the bottom of the page.

    Based around the fighting for the Red Barricades Ordanance Works, and the city itself, it encompasses the attempt to clear the factories within the main game in late October 1942.

    The other area of the campaign provides a bonus tournament with scenarios depicting action in and around the city itself.

    I have quite a few maps and aerial photos. The city itself is over 20 kms long so it's hard to find just one map... I have several that pieced together create an overall picture.

    Maps in game systems tend to be inaccurate as they're modified to fit the specific game system.

    There are two Stalingrad Scenarios in the link in my sig. Stalingrad Party HQ and Mamayev Kurgan. They are 2 of 12 in total being generated for the campaign.

    Try these...

    and Here this one's a shop but you might be able to buy what you're looking for...

    Email me and I'll see if I can help you find what you're looking for...
