Are you able to rework this map by your own?

Its is already done of course. I will wait until you work out ZombiFrancis suggestions to post it.

Let's call this Version 1.0: Rosbone Forrest

I will post BEFORE/AFTER photos later today.

Version 1.0 (7/7/2018):
- Modified buildings around bases to reduce their strength against the base area itself. To reduce base pinning.
- Opened up the SouthWest and Northwest map edge passages.
- Created a new path thru forrest on South East side VP area.
- Cleared some extra forrest by new path for vehicle repair and safer infantry passage.
- Cleaned up sight blockers thru narrow passages in forrest and river areas.
- Removed one train car by mid VP to open up late game tank movement.
- Opened up forrest passage south of train car for tank movement.
- Changed mid city building to have windows on all 4 sides.
- Modifed house south of west VP for better MG coverage.
- Changed out small south building (faces south base only) on southern road for tank movement.
- Opened passages in fences along Northwest base road so units can move thru the area better.
- Opened one fence passage by south fuel.

Can you have a look to the south side cutoff house again? About FoW. I had the feeling its not full working for south side.

Also what you think about to kill 1 fence in the middle there?

When you look north side and south side about this building and pathing for inf to fuel and middle is not fair.

Rest looked great.

I also think something needs to be done in the middle. The building on the north side of the railroad makes using tanks a nuisance when playing from the north side for both Axis and Allies. It is impossible to effectively utilize tanks as allies when playing from the north side if even one axis player goes tank destroyer (elephant or jagdtiger). They have an entire open playground to play with in the south that allows them to utilize their tank destroyers to 100% effectiveness. The only way to counter this is with a mass onslaught of tanks from the middle, or a rush from the left flank (city) which can easily be countered with a few well placed mines and a 90 degree left turn from the tank destroyer.

I propose placing a similar sized building on the southern side of the railroad tracks in order to create a little bit of symmetry in the middle.

I get your points, but i have to say no.

But did you see that one train got removed on the right side of the middle vp?!

On the opposite side of the railway platform to this is a little stone building with no windows facing south. Im wondering if it would be worth removing this building and changing it for a yellow cover fence or just leaving it open. It would make it easier for pushing from north to south with tanks and vise versa and would definately help with pathing issues on a assault. It would be very similar to what you have done with removing the rail car on the other side.

Yeah I already was thinking about removing this small house. I kind of forgot about it. So thx

Rosebone let's kill the house

Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2018, 09:44 AMRosbone

I assume house A? I agree.

Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2018, 17:23 PMRosbone

House A is removed. House A and the hedge next to it used to create a sight blocked area. So the house and hedge are replaced with a TALL concrete fence. The fence is a MEDIUM crush object so you need an SU76 or a tank to crush it. This will keep the play close to the same as the original map until mediums show up. It also matches the low concrete fences in the area.


Late game will now have approx 40 meters of attack space left and 25 meters of space right. Also note that the new house left of the railroad station is smaller than the original so there is a lot of new space there as well. The fences next to the house were added to help hide a brit mortar. The fences are approx the original building size.
