Thanks CanonUK for stepping forward to make a map of this missing area. 
Screenshots look really nice.  I like the fields.  Having 4 seasons is a bonus!

Are those Google Earth tex's, Joe?

I have been working off and on, on a Belarus-Smolensk-Bryansk map for more than a year. If you want to chat to me about map sources or anything else, pls let me know.

This will sure to be a great new map - but I'm also certain there will be a great new set of objects to go along with it.

Obviously Kharkov region is a major combat arena and staging platform. It was one of the USSR's primary industrial centres, then became a major German base a lot like Smolensk to the north and a transportation network for German supplies, especially for shuffling Luftwaffenkommando Öst units around between say, Rostov or Majkop one month and Orel or V'yazma another. Without Kharkov Luftwaffe mobility across the Front would be cut to pieces and the absence of Luftflotte 2 would probably have been a war losing proposition. With Kharkov secure virtually the entire southern Front could be kept zipped up, it is no coincidence that following Stalingrad Kharkov was the first Soviet target and following that, it was Manstein's very first and most important strategic re-offensive. Retaking it in 1943 stabilised the Front and could've allowed an orderly retreat to entrenched positions in the Ukraine but alas, Hitler was a moron.
