Hey...
I just started making an Ostfront-based comic using Garry's Mod. I got my hands on some Russian soldier models, along with a PPSh and some of them army hats. I've got the environment, I've got the characters, I've got the front cover of the comic, I just don't know where the hell to set it in.
The comic would be taking place during Stalingrad in August '42. What I wanna know is:
1. Does it snow in August there?
2. Did they get to the city fighting in August?
3. Are there any other notable, mostly infantry-based, inner-city battles aside from Stalingrad that were not fought after '42?
The criteria is strange because of the limited materials I have to work with. I do not have DoD:S, so as for now I cannot use many DoD style maps due to their direct use of content from the game (there are quite a few Bondarevo style custom maps, but they are buggy w/o DoDS).
I also can't find seperate helmets for use on my Russians, even though I have Germans (independent of DoDS) to work with. I only have a few HL2DM maps that actually work quite well for the setting (bombed/destroyed apartments).
Lastly, if anyone would like to be a historical advisor (I know there are tons of you out there...) or help me with a historic-driven plot, step right up and PM me some contact info. You don't need Garry's Mod, just a good knowledge of some ostfront history. I won't pay you money, but I will honorably mention you (and maybe give you some Shambeh Bambeh!)
Btw, here's the cover: http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/7721/maincoverqr5.jpg
