What's wrong with woodland and hills?

Sure, but we have many huge hills here. Not a lot of sturdy terrain to fight on.

[Otto Halfhand]

Or even "Moscow Outskirts" to make it shorter.

Two German attempts to take Moscow. Plus one hypothetical without the three defensive lines to consider the "what if Guderian had not been side tracked to Kiev". Maybe even a mud scenario.  I think a lot of interest and potential is here. The same could probably be said for a Rostov map.
As people keep saying its a game. As for historicity in EF maps Leningrad? 

[cephalos]

Actually Leningrad saw some combat on it's streets.

"And in the middle of nowhere, USA"

We have something in common!

How easy would it be to put in St. Basil's Cathedral? You guys have the Reichstag, it'd only make sense to make the Soviet capital now.

And is somebody thinking what I'm thinking? It has nothing to do with EF, but how about a "What If" Operation Sea Lion map in London?

...Why? The Germans didn't even get that far!

Maybe. Interesting What If? scenarios are fun. We know the Dev Team plans campaigns for each faction after Ostheer is complete. It would be much more satisfying to have an on to Moscow, London, Cairo scenario at the end of an otherwise successful Axis campaign.

Not a whole lot is actually historic still in the mod, I can't see a reason for no Kremlin.

Cairo...maybe if this were an African Theater mod. Rome, perhaps? The Axis Italians weren't a player by the time the allies reached Rome, they had surrendered after Sicily. So no need for an Italian faction, though I'd like to see one in a mod anyway.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a Kremlin - Just saying that it wouldn't make sense.

[cephalos]

I'd rather focus on remaking/creating a new Moscow and Leningrad... it doesn't mean I don't like those maps, but seriously, Moscow... 1v1?...

[pariah]

I think Leningrad needs remaking more than Moscow.

Rome was never attacked nor bombed due to historical value of the city as it was the stronghold of one of the most powerful empires for over 1000 years. That agreement was between Italians/allies, not to bomb that city, rather it would be surrendered.

IIRC the Allies Marched into Rome on 6/5/44; the night that the Paras dropped in on Rommel's wife's birthday party. Speaking of open cities I wonder what the L.O.S. of a sniper would be from the Eiffel Tower. BTW the On to Cairo/London was not intended for EF at all. I view them as reward scenarios for completing putative DAK/1940 canpaigns. Think positive says I.

Q. OT why does a molotov thrown at the base of the Riechstag fry the pionieres on the ground and the conscripts on the roof?
