Might be hard to do at the SP level. Too many units can overburden the average player. For "playability" best to keep it as manageble as possible for the players. Right now I am looking at a Rifle Battalion as the core force even if that requires smaller maps of maybe 50x50.

True but . . most everyone that does East Front seems to do Stalingrad stuff. I'm looking at something other than Stalingrad. Right now I am looking for some different areas and it may take a little time to get together what I need and settle on a particular area/unit, etc.

In any event, thanks for the offer to help translate. Tghis is just at the idea stage so far and will obviously need a lot of work but I think it is do-able.
