It was terrirory of last days of 3rd reich. When Germany collapsed on east and west front, one from last battle of germany wehrmacht againts SSSR troops supported by Czech and Slovak units.

Hi, Jeff,

Thanks for this map. It's just the thing for a mini-campaign where the Munich Crisis leads to war, and Poland attacks Tzcechzin.

I am following this with great interest. Thank you fellow mappers and Czech enthusiasts.
I have an ongoing love and deep respect for Czechoslovakia with family ties (my direct cousin wife's family left in 68) and I am also fortunate to have an excellent Slovak colleague at work. I went there in 1988, a weird time it was. Liberec and Prague felt like home, I had read so much about the country and its people... even now after all these years (and no practice) I still know what "Stare Mesto" means.

Back to the map: In Magot's post did you notice how close the airfield of Poremba is from the targets?
This is something I found as well in Leningrad-Volkhov area. No need for long flights to the target (if you fly for the Soviet side), some airfields are really close to the front line.

Showing new city textures and all populated.  Only main things I need to do are to add railroad stations and bridges.
Any comments about the white "T" on airfields?  Maybe I should delete them?
I am not adding the defense line bunkers.  Mission builders can add those so that red/blue (artillery) bunkers can be attacked and destroyed.

Your populating is very cool Jeff

Hello Texan. To map ?SR_38 I made light pillbox fortifications. On srubwch heavy fortifications still I am working. I also made the aircraft hangars Olomouc airport Ne?edín. If you would be willing us to do on our map Olomouc airport, which is missing, handled would tell you these objects for Your Ostrava map. Whether you're doing well. Sorry for my English language.

right, Zoran.
with Compans French Suburbs and Oks_zavod.  IMO it's a nice mixture.

Thanks to all for the complements.
dsawan, I'll probably make some quick missions when the map is finished.

I thought the map could be finished sooner but I realized more things needed to be added and they take more time.  I added all stationary MOD bridges because rivers are not zero height - but at least the land slope is realistic - which I rather prefer.  Now I am adding railroad stations and factories which make good targets.
