Hi Aeldrick,
I played your map for a while and I must say this is the best ww2 recreation around! There are still some inacurate facts in your map.
Because I'm Romanian, I can tell you about the problems regarding this area.
My country is Romania, not Rumania.
The Antonescu regime was not fascist but a Police State modell. Antonescu was a Marshall( the only so high in rank in the Romanian army of all the times)while the nominative leader( who wasn't dethroned) was King Mihai I who was not in legal age to rule at that time.
Some of the cities had different names:
Chernivitschi is CERNAUTI and it was part of the Romanian state before the ww2. Only when the Russian boots "landed" in 1944 totaly uninvited in our country we lost the city and its name changed to the one you put in the map.
Bukarest is Bucharest or BUCURESTI.
Kronstadt is the Austrian name for CLUJ.
Temesvar is the Hungarian name for TIMISOARA.
Constantja is CONSTANTA.
So, the correct names are Cernauti, Bucuresti, Cluj, Timisoara and Constanta.
Besides this I can tell you some things about the resources. Romania had at that time a lot of wine specially in its east regions and lot of coal in the mountains near Craiova. Also in the north mountains of my county there is lot of uranium and salt. The exact places are hold under secrecy, being strategic places. Also here was produced some small quantities of tabacco, lots of sugar. Romania was one of the most important european producer of wheat. In the mountains near Timisoara are some medium quantities of gold.
A broader problem on this map is the disproportionate power of Russia. Germany is so small compared with Russia when in reality, the population of Russia( 1939 - 108.809.000 people) was less than the double of the German population( 1937 - 69.000.000 people). The two wonders that brings two armies of infantry every two turns( from Siberia) are a very large advantage for the Russians. In reality Stalin used the Siberian troops only in 1943 when it became clear for him that Japan Empire is not going to attack mother Russia.
In 1939 Russia had a very weak army, mostly equipped by the Germans! Don't forget how difficult was for the Russians to fight with the small but the brave nation of Finns on the Mannerheim Line.
In the same time, Fascism is very unrealistic. The heavy restriction on the population growth practically condamns the Axis Allied countries to loose the war almost even before starting it.
Uh, I'm already tired from so much writting. I'm baryly waiting for your response.
I know that the game structure also imposes some serious restrictions. And although there are some imperfections that can be restored, Your Map, Aeldrick is the BEST! I think you worked a lot at it!
Don't stop man. I'd like to see a new map with only the Eastern front, made by you.

Your scenarios are so detailed and very well balanced that I would like to see more of them. However, I do understand your frustration about the limitations that Firaxis made.
