[WIP] Narva (4/6)

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

The countryside in general doesn't seem to be changed since then..

Google Earth would probably be pretty good for this map as AFAIK Narva was never rebuilt.

@Maxi Do you have a list/link for all these tasty AGN maps you (and maybe Lord Rommel have produced). I have a sneaky suspicion that taken as a whole they spell CAMPAIGN. Has anyone been working on a map usable for an Operation Strachnitz scenario?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

I don't recreate the town, I'm more into landscape and rural environments.
So first of all, what do you mean by AGN? You need to explain yourself, your whole post is currently a riddle to me.. 

[Otto Halfhand]

My apologies Maxi.

• AGN= Army Group North.
• To the best of my knowledge the town of Narva was leveled during WWII and never rebuilt. Google Earth may confirm this but in any case would give a better picture of the geography then it would for a heavily developed area.
• My username Otto 213 is a tribute to Otto Carius. (his tiger was numbered 213 or 217). He fought  a Lemburg, Dunaburg, Narva, west of Narva,(Strachnitz reference), etc. Early on in the development process LordRommel was working on several maps that could be used for a "battles of Otto Carius Type campaign" He has lobbied for this in one of the Campaign threads. I would like to see a campaign with such an orientation too.
• If the DevTeam is working on such a campaign; (as I hope),  I am interested in obtaining a list of maps (and/or download links) for this part of the mod. You are certainly aware of the difficulty of modeling actual geography in a RTS game setting.

If this still doesn't make sense PM me. Entirely too many wars have been caused when one guy didn't understand what the other guy meant.

I'm not so sure it's a good idea to use real people in the campaign. It would fit better with Company Of Heroes if the characters and companies etc. are all fictional.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

No problem, now I clearly understand you. There is no real connection between Lord Rommels maps and mine, also the connection to Otto Carius is unintentional, neither I work on any campaign maps, although that would be some kind of next level challenge. If they want to have me, I'm always here..
Like I said, my map doesn't contain Narva as town, it's rather the fight for the river and the bridgehead I'd like to see represented.
