Possible New Map: Osowiec Fortress?

[Urst]

Even if you think that the story of the Attack Of The Dead men is exaggerated, it's still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome, and the fact that the Russians there held for 6 months, when their high command thought that just 2 *days* was impossible, is an awesome feat, and makes it worth bringing into the game. (I also think that it would be fun, though it should probably use Verdun's battle system, as a defensive battle.)

Thoughts?

As you say it would be awkward to fit in to the Tannenberg system so not sure about it.

It's not like Tannenberg can't also use the Trench Line system, you'd just have to make it so that the maps weren't all Skermish.
I mean, not all of the battles were skermishes like that in the east. There's also the battle where the Germans and Russians had a ceace fire to deal with some wolves that were attacking them while they fought. That particular fight was mostly from trenches if I recal correctly.

[Bishop]

You'd then just have both teams fighting over 2 trenches rather than a number of points on the map. So more fighting in NML.

The wolves story stems from winter when there wasn't huge amount of fighting any way.

[Urst]

You'd have at least 5 lines, with the Germans having 2 to start and the Russians getting 2 trenches then the fort itself. Maybe go ahead and give the Germans 3 lines as well (though all trenches).

Or, have the German HQ outside the fort, and the Russian one inside. Then, when the attack begins, the Russians will all rush to the defensive zones, and cap them. The German HQ will be much further away so they will need to either delay the Russians or assualt the already defended front positions of the fort.

So have the different secters be sepperate parts of the fort?
I could see that working, and it would make it so that you use more of the actual fort, rather than the tiny bit that you actually get to play in in the Fort Douaumont map in Verdun.
To be honest, the tiny bit of wall that you fight over in Douaumont would be at least 2 secters. One for both main entrances. Maybe also one for the middle of the hall.
