The main difference: The landscape near Berlin and towards the east is pretty flat, around Fulda it is pretty hilly. That's why the Fulda Gap was the most likely approach way... In terms of vegetation: Around Berlin the soil is quite sandy, so you would mostly see open woods with birch trees. They don't have that near Fulda. But I agree, if you see it from a distance, it may look not too different. Edited February 17, 2021 by StieliAlpha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, the description says "centered around the Fulda Gap". That's far south of the Luneburger Heide. And snow? It hardly snows in the Lueneburger Heide (Ok, THIS years winter is different....) Assuming the game is set in summer times, there is little hope of snow. IIRC, back then in the 80's, the Warsaw Pact planned to be in Antwerp in four days or so. But let's hope for the modders!

akd Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 You clearly meant that TO&E would finally bring the public display of Christ’s crucifixion. I mean the argument was made on the floor of the U.S. Senate, so that must be correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soil around Berlin is sandy indeed and because of that the woods differ from those in the Fulda area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Zaitzev Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 So... are we going to be able to detach the Soviet squad leader to remain inside the AFV as was Soviet doctrine or is this another title that will degrade the soviet side with sensorless AFVs once the squad deploys? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
