Since it is so quiet here I thought I'd offer a distraction in the form of a preview of the coming Red Factories module. These photos were taken a while back of the RB and RO maps placed together. A Stalingrad fan wet dream.

I will not be satisfied until the shoreline has been connected via a third map. Or... re-do each map to extend out into the river to capture the shoreline.

No square inch of Stalingrad should be left un-mapped! That is non-negotiable!

Perry Pender did a map of the brickworks which connects the RB map to CH's DTW map. It would make the combined map 15ft long.

That would be from the top end of the RB map to the bottom of the RO map! One word - hindrances.

Maybe someone will create one at least for VASL.
There is a VASL map out there for the tip of Betio island which is missing in the "official" maps.

The tip of Betio is available to download and print out somewhere on the web.

Essentially it was the defence of these two factory complexes that foiled the German assault. The DTW fell within days but these two complexes held and gave the Russians a chance to recover. The battle for Stalingrad does not come any more crucial than this.
