Butovo Bliss

Axis attacking out of the East?

My son (also an RO1/RO2 player) and I both agreed that it looked more like a sunset (in Colorado at least) than a sunrise.

Also, when I played it, the Russians lost every round. So, I didn't see a balance problem in favor of the Russians.

The map is fun to play. And, could herald a new theater in RO (Operation Typhoon) because Butovo is in Moscow.

The geography is fun, but not accurate.

Axis attacking out of the East?

Sorry guys, the map is NEATO, BUT STILL ARBITRARY.

They could attack from the east if the axis were closing the gap to an encirclement of the enemy, it is not like the fronts were straight east-west lines in every encounter from the smallest skirmish (which an RO2 round would probably be) to the largest battles.

I actually enjoyed playing this map a lot. The different elevation and some proper areas of fire make it quite enjoyable from either side.
