Very nice. The only suggestion I might have is to perhaps work with the map_t a little and put some of the lowland textures up in the midland areas. I've been trying new textures on the Prokhorovka and Kiev maps and get the same results you do. Extensive tracts of green grassland and then "islands" of cropland between the rivers and the hills.

It doesn't look all that bad, but it might be more convincing and integrated with a little more work.
