No601_Prangster Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I've produced a quick map overlaying the in game map with the frontline and the disposition of forces at the start of Operation Uranus on the 18th November 1942. The map is from Wikipedia and has been resized and rotated to match the in game map. click to view full size map I'm currently rereading Stalingrad by Antony Beevor and was having trouble relating it to the IL-2 BoS map. The map is big, it seems to cover the whole area of the Stalingrad Kessel and also the main Luftwaffe transport base for the air bridge at Tatsinskaya. Tatsinskaya was overrun on the 24th December and the transport were then re-deployed to Novocherkassk which is off the map, 150km to the southwest. If I have time I'll do maps for the rest of the battle, they should be useful for mission builders (when we get a FMB). Edited June 3, 2014 by Zak fixed links 19
Grizzly Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Nice Prangster! Great idea, im sure this will make alot of inspiration for mission builders! Edited June 3, 2014 by -=Volks=-Muggi
Feathered_IV Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Very nicely done. I think I'll make that my desktop wallpaper for a bit, until I get used to the details.

heinkill Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Brilliant stuff, thanks! Are all the airfields marked on the map, represented in BoS? It seems there are many more on this map than I have flown over in BoS. I see you have marked 'relevant luftwaffe bases' - are these the ones in BoS? What about the 'relevant' Russian airfields that are in BoS? H
No601_Prangster Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Ye Brilliant stuff, thanks! Are all the airfields marked on the map, represented in BoS?

What about the 'relevant' Russian airfields that are in BoS? H The base map with the airfields is the in game BoS map. The blue icon and names are from the Wikipedia map. So yes all the airfields are in game.
No601_Prangster Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Updated version of the map including the frontlines for 12th and 24th December. It's interesting just how small the Kessel is compared to the overall map size. The frontlines were very fluid and not shown on this map is the raid by 24th Tank Corp on Tazinskaya (Tatsinkaya). 2
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 well there's the problem, Hitler use Romanian troops .lol that why Stalingrad failed. 1
