plastictree Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knows of repositories of authentic NATO/Warsaw Pact deployment/tactical maps from the 70's/80's in Central Europe.A good example would be the maps Warulf posted here http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showpost.php?p=158305&postcount=3Any scale will suffice, although I'd be particularly interested in any maps with individual units being either company or battalion level, and regimental identification (ie. preferably non-generic).Basically I wanted to use these maps as a guide for relatively authentic SBProPE and WinSPMBT battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koen Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Interesting link, Warulf- THX. Plastictree, You could have a look at FM 71-123 - Chapter 4 - SECTION IV European Defensive Scenario (sorry, I don't have a link). This hypothetical scenario takes place around Fulda.

plastictree Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thanks Guys, these will come in handy.By the way, I've never run into it yet, but is there a game-set limit to how many units can be in a scenario (rather than just having too many for your computer to handle)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastictree Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Is that the Von Mellenthin that wrote Panzer Battles? (ie. the WW2 german staff officer). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
