The map is very good - compare it to the one in Campaign 007 Langemarck at Narva which deals with the same area. Hex 74,129 and 75,129 reads like wooden bridge(s) on my machine - which does not matter to the scenario of course...

Results sound reasonably historical given the time frame of the scenario compared to the actual span of days the battle lasted

What was the final score?

Yeah, I was pleased with the map. I originally had not included the Baltic coast but it puts the location in perspective and the area below the RR was more or less impassible and I could have left that out but without the area above and below the main operation area it's just a flat map with some hills
