RBS Map & Counter Updates
updated 130530
MAP CHANGES (source: Rob Beyma):
- The railroad from the east edge to Astrakhan runs 3405 into 3406 and then
into 3507. Thus, hex 3406 is a junction hex with the rail from the east going
into both 3507 and Saratov. The red star is in hex 3406.
- Baku is a major city.
- Hex 2231 is a Clear hex (not a Mountain hex).
- A rail line runs from hex 2732 to 2831 to 2931 to 3030.
- A rail line runs from Bucharest to the West map edge (3135 – 3139
and then off map).\
- Hex 3433 is Port hex. It is the Rumanian port of Constanta. It functions
as a port but is not a minor city.
- Hexes 1720 and Kursk are the junction hexes.
- PENDING: would also be good if the Vassal map showed the Axis setup boundaries,
as well as the Soviet MD boundaries a little more clearly than the game map.
The Axis boundaries could be light green dashes and the Soviet light red dashes.
I would think that 3 hexes deep would be sufficient.
- Russian remain as is.
- Axis:
o AGN - 08xx to 10xx
o AGC - 11xx to 16xx
o AGS - 17xx to 26xx; Only hex 2632 for AGS in Rumania.
COUNTER CHANGES (source: Rob Beyma):
German OB Card, August 1941
- The Rumanian 5th corps should be a 3-4 (1-3).
- The Italian 3rd corps was known as the Italian Expeditionary Force (CSIR
in 1941). In 1942 it became the 35th corps in the Italian 8th army. It was
a "mobile" unit that should be a 3-5 (1-4). Currently, it is a 3-5
but only a 1-3 on the back side.
German OB Card, May 1942
- The two Rumanian corps should be 3-4 (1-3).
- The two Hungarian corps should be 3-4 (1-3).
German OB Card, July 1942
- The 3-5 Italian Mountain corps is a 3-5 (1-4). It's correct historical ID
should be Alp (for Alpini).
- The Italian 5th corps is currently a 3-4 (1-3) which is correct. However,
it's correct historical ID should be the 2nd corps.
Russian OB Card, September 1941
- Add a 2 point Urals WEC. This flips to a 6 point WEC in May 1943.
