A bit of background for the map straight from wikepedia 
During the Great Patriotic War of 1941 to 1945, the city was important in production of armaments. Tula became the target of a German offensive to break Soviet resistance in the Moscow area between October 24 and December 5, 1941. The heavily fortified city held out. In particular, Guderian's Second Panzer Army was defeated under Tula. The city secured the Southern flank during the Soviet defence of Moscow and the subsequent counter-offensive. After the War, Tula was awarded the title Hero City.
Ive avoided the city setting for now and have opted for the woods/forests surrounding tula. Yes i know its a snowey forest!! However i came up with the idea before the other snowey forest map so pls dont accuse me of copy catting.
Scenario-- Russian troops have dug in on a natural bottle neck protecting an important road/railway line (havent decided) they have dug in with bunkers and fox holes in the dense woods. The axis are assualting without veichle support due to the forest thickness but pre planned artillery has been organised to keep the russian heads down. The assualt begins in the early morning. The germans must capture each line of defense (outposts-first line- second line- Headquarters)).
Features (hopefully!!)
Random artillery exploding trees etc on the next line of defense as the geramns caputre forcing the ruskies into their foxholes.
Fog which "sits" in a depression around a stream to provide some cover (volumetic fog??)
Might try to "fell" a tree to create a safer german spawn (movers??)
General terrain learning as this is only my second map.
Learning how to optomize maps!.
Please note this is no where near finished. A lot more trees/foliage/cover is to be added and i havent even started on the objectives but i felt this gives a good sense of the atmosphere.
