[quote="CzechTexan"]Just last week I was thinking about possibly making a map of the area just to the south of your Syvari map.
In it I would include the Mga region, south to Novgorod, and east to Tikhvin, and the Lake Ladoga ports in the north.
This would cover the area of the Tikhvin Offensive and counteroffensive of 1941 and the subsequent Russian offensives near Lyuban and Kirishi, not to mention the six Siniavino offensives (the current Leningrad map is lacking in geographical features for Siniavino).

In my opinion, I think the Germans would have been better off if they didn't go to Tikhvin but instead skirted Lake Ladoga on it's coast in order to link up with the Finns in the north (where they battled on your map). Tikhvin was too far deep into the frozen forest wasteland. However, German occupation of the Ladoga ports would mean a total isolation of Leningrad with no chance of resupply over the lake.

A map of this area would also be easy to populate but would require a summer and winter version. Perhaps I could do this after my current project. Both maps would make a good sister-map combination and could be used together for campaigns.

Kapteeni, do you have any screenshots yet? and will you make a summer and winter version?
That Finnish P-40 would be interesting. P-40s with Finn markings vs. LaGGs and even Soviet P-40s! What a mix!

Of course there will be summer and winter version. I will also include at least 2 different versions. 1 for the beginning of the war and second for the trench warfare period at Syv
