Actually, no.So theoretically one could combine the two and make a very large campaign game. Just a thought.
I don't like Mondays.
Never one to guess at jrv's chicanery, I took his response as a semi-obscure Boomtown Rats reference. Preferring their early-punk sound of such songs as "Lookin' After #1", I did not care for the sound of "I Don't Like Mondays". IIRC, it was written about the massacre of US schoolchildren in a school-shooting back in the late-70s/early-80s. Very depressing ballad which I also believe enjoyed a small chart success. The perpetrator's response when questioned was, "I don't like Mondays."Nor rainy days, they always get me down.
Bob Geldof, hadn't listened to any of that in a while. Time to hit Spotify. I'm guessing Bob isn't an ASL player but who knows.Never one to guess at jrv's chicanery, I took his response as a semi-obscure Boomtown Rats reference.

It would make an interesting article for one of the journals if one took a map of Stalingrad and outlined the various areas in which these HASLs or scenarios packs took place along with a narrative that tied them all together historically. I've read books about the overall battle and read accounts of the actions that took place in the various areas but to tie it all together with the games would be cool.Never one to guess at jrv's chicanery, I took his response as a semi-obscure Boomtown Rats reference.

I was under the impression that "Monday" is the standard reply to _any_ "When is .... being released?"COOL thats good news
Oh well. Hope springs eternal.I was under the impression that "Monday" is the standard reply to _any_ "When is .... being released?"
What is KWASL and RF is Red Factories I take it. Wow not until 2019. Holy Cow. I am not going to live long enough to get all the core modules apparently. :-(I dont think MMP has ever released a major module(s) on a non Winter Offensive date. KWASL it looks like is getting released for WO 18 and next up will be RF at WO 19. Maybe a core reprint thrown in on one of those WO dates.
As long as I can remember, it is.I was under the impression that "Monday" is the standard reply to _any_ "When is .... being released?"

That would not even begin to fill in the gap.There is a gap between the RB+RO (RF) combination and the VotG map areas. As far as I recall the two are not too well aligned, to boot. You would need an odd trapezoid map section to join RF and VotG, roughly the size of the VotG map.
Actually, it's about 3.5 clicks from the southern end of the Red October complex to the Central Station. But yes, these really are two separate battles.... Central Stalingrad is many, many miles south of the Factories. The City of Stalingrad is big. Really big. You thought it was a long way to the Chemist's Shop? No, it's even further than that.
It's not just a matter of physical distance, either. The battle for the Central Stalingrad area was essentially over weeks before the battles for the Factories began. Not only is it totally impractical to join the maps of the two regions at ASL scale, there's no sensible reason (in terms of a historical CG) to even make the attempt.
IIRC, Critical Hit included a copy of the grain elevator map in one of their magazines from back in the 90's. I have a copy packed away somewhere, although I never played it. The map covered a rather small area, and the art work was quite crude compared to MMP's HASL maps.Anyone do a game for that area of the battle.
