PanzerJager IV Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Simple, I am a map designer. Currently I am working on a 4000 X 4000 meter map featuring the center of the battle feild before Seelow Heights, Germany. I have excellent reference maps and terrain details as well as the historical facts needed to complete a highly detailed and accurte map of the sector. Anyone with the skills to work up the scenorio is weclome to reach out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary R Lukas Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 If you can make a map, I'm the guy you're looking for. My expertise is in the Weapons and the troops that were used, my weakest gift is getting the scenarios to work correctly. I have recently read a tour book called Berlin Battlefield Guide. it covers some of the fighting there, but it does have some decent pictures and maps in the text. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 What units would be involved in your campaign? Dr. Nafzinger has released a ton of in-depth TOEs for various units during ww2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Just checking - you do know there's a Seelow Heights battle in Fire & Rubble? Not sure if the map will be similar or overlap with yours though. EDIT : Had a quick look at FR Seelow Heights, it's roughly 5000m by 2000m with a lot of open fields. The author is Jon Martina - I think this is @ASL Veteran? Edited February 6, 2023 by Vacillator 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but the wonderful work of @George MC with large scale maps and varied elevations (plus much more) proves that such things are possible. Having just played the great BP Cat and Mouse by PBEM, which is around 3k by 4.5k, I can say that my opponent and I both commented on how great the map was. Hats off to George yet again . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary R Lukas Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Depending on the German unit positions, there were Wehrmacht, SS, Fallschirmjager, Luftwaffe, Marines, Volksturm, some JU-87 G, King Tigers, Panthers, Tigers, Jagdpanzer IV/70, and we can't forget the Stug's, Soviets will have Guards Tank Armies, Guards Mech Corps, then You will always have the Regular Soldiers with lots of Heavy Artillery, plenty Of Stalin's Organs, Heavy Mortars, Lots of Soviet Aircraft, both T-34/76 and T-34/85's, JS-II, SU76, JSU-122 and JSU-152's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary R Lukas Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Sometimes there were SS, Wehrmacht and Fallschirmjager fighting next to each other, elbow to elbow, all in the same trenches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. Would you have any idea as to what divisions/corps/armies specifically fought here? OP hasnt logged back in since his first post (First post ever). I wonder if he's made good progress or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 What happens if you put all your Tigers and Panthers on the first bridge? They get shot to pieces and then? A super Bridge Bug Imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that map has a lot of trees of different kind, I'm sure PanzerJager IV will have a lot of fun putting those down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can and yes, the German side gathered anything and everything they could to try a hold up the red army at Zeelow. I do have some books with a German order of battle, just need to find it, which won't be easy, but I will get you that info. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah it will only be useful if OP comes back, so it would be redundant if he gives up or doesnt come back. Thank you Edited February 16, 2023 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
