Yeah, I suppose it does look a bit like Armored Brigade. Both The Operations Room and Armored Brigade use 2d maps with a similar balance of detail/abstraction and what looks to me like a similar art style. But I doubt they're actually using AB to generate their maps. The locations depicted in most Operations Room videos aren't present in any of the stock AB maps. So that would mean they would have to be creating custom AB maps for each video. Possible, but it's probably easier to just use a dedicated graphics program at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walrus-w Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I rather like the idea of an alternate-history campaign starting with 11th Armoured Division capturing the Lauenburg railway bridge intact and racing to Berlin from there. In large part this would be an excuse to test the Comet against substantial German armoured formations under varying conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a train spotter, but I suspect he means the one built in 1878. Exits stage right singing "Over the points, over the points..

Google is a little vague on the matter... Okay I found this: The first construction of a bridge over the Elbe near Lauenburg took place in 1878. This was blown up by the company's own troops at the end of World War II to prevent the advance of British troops.

walrus-w Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) I should have stated at the outset that I'm certainly not suggesting this to be an omission from the module. Generally, I don't go for such specific counterfactuals. In this case, I'd like to mess around with the Comet, which requires some modification of the actual historical situation. Taming the Panzers provides a brief description of the bridge at Lauenburg being blown with tanks of 3rd RTR only 200 yards away. This, in my opinion, gives a vaguely plausible excuse to build a campaign involving 11th Armoured Division crossing the Elbe in mid-April and, in doing so, encountering some hypothetical German armoured formation still capable of manoeuvre.

GvB_1944 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 One of the forgotten battles/campaign is probably the Lorraine Campaign early September 1944 to March 1945. Patton had to face some hard battles here, Arracourt tank battle ,Metz sieging, and everywhere in Lorraine. Photo : grenadiers from 553 Grenadier Division (later 553 Volksgrenadier Division), near Gremecey forrest October 1944) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
