Ah, one of my favorite subjects, the great patriotic war! World war two, for those not
aware. :D This map hurts me in some ways because it really should be wider. I had to
squash many of the cities together, but, ah well. This is the widest things will go. Blue
moon (Soviet Russia) has many cities, but a comparitibly weak military. It's forces,
besides partisan/milita units, are clumped around Moscow, in a perhaps vainglorious
attempt to protect Stalin, who at least to credit is staying with the troops... Bah, he
didn't brave Leningrad though, did he?

Sites of importance are Brest Fortress, a bastion supported by Katyusha rocket launchers
and artillery, but which will be highly sieged by early fascist forces, Sevestapool, a sea
outpost at the time of the war, and Leningrad, which will be attacked by both sea and land
forces, and cut off from the main bulk of the union, when Nazi Germany sends army group
north after it.

Next, we have the allied reinforcements. Although limited to aerial deployment and arrival
at Sevestapool, they will nevertheless be poweful allies and defenders with their advanced
aircraft.

Finland, here allied with the fascist forces, is primarily providing sea support, although
it will be intensely hard to invade; indeed, Finland sustained few casualties during the war.

Teal Galaxy represents the governments of Hungary and Romania, which did much of hte bulk
infantry fighting supporting the Nazi expansion plans, although there military forces were
not huge.

Finally, Green Earth represents Nazi Germany; with the most powerful military at the start
of the campaign, it will have to push hard and fast into soviet territory if it wants to
destroy the Russians. It's medium tanks are the most feared unit in the war, if deployed
successfully.

Recommended settings:

Daily funds: 2500

Weather: Random or Snowing. Unfortunately, one cannot make a 'cycle'.

Alliances: Green Earth(Germany) Teal Galaxy (Hungary/Romania) Grey Sky (Finland) against
Blue Moon (Soviet Russia) and Red Blaze (Allied reinforcements).

Recommended ban units: Stealths, black boat, black bombs megatanks, neotanks, piperunners

Have fun! Note that this map is NOT historically accurate, it may not play wonderfully
yet, and it is merely my first attempt. Nonetheless, I'm proud of it! Have a blast! :D

lol the map is pretyt awesome, i just think that the "allied forces" might be too weak and
spread out, with over 1/2 of its properties doomed to fall rather quickly, i think the map
might be cooler if it was more themed, IE the germans and its allies start with a MASSIVE
(not just large) armies with a few properties while Russia has huge number of properties
with almost no troops.. itd be more fun to have a race between the axis trying to conquer
as much as possible and the RUSSIAN WINTER OF GG
