Battle for the Istra River


Recommended Posts

A few months back Wild Bill came out with an article on the 1st Guards Tank Brigade and the "Battle for the Istra River", Nov. 24, 1941. After reading his article I decided to design a semi-historical battle based on his article.

Does anyone have a map of the battle area? I've already done a make believe map for a river crossing and it's bloody fun fighting over the map. Now I'd like to try and recreate the actual battle using a map of that particular area. Anyone out there with map resources or leads to a good map?

all best

Try this site.

IIRC, the Istra river is northwest of Moscow. Scroll down to the maps that were added in 30.6.2002. Click on the link "Russia\Central_region_Europe_Topo_200K"

Use this map as reference on which tile you want to download from the first site.

You may want to also download the Cryllic Translator

Edit: after comparing the two maps it looks like the Istra reservoir is located on the tiles marked 90-91-102-103.
