Just to let you know I don't sleep (yet)...

Today finished everything below the railroad to Hungary. Plus some fields (off screen to the left = South). Plus, for orientation purposes, used beach sand to draw the current border line.

On this screenshot, you may see positions of several bunkers - squares are heavy objects (though some of them are "old" - built in 1935 before the forts were typised, on initiative of commander of forces in Slovakia - the "old" objects were armed just with machineguns, some were really bristling with them, but in 1937 they were reworked to better fit into typised patterns, meaning usually limiting armament and filling up some loopholes with concrete to increase protection) and white circle is one of three vz.37A type light objects (exception to the rule, while standard weapon of vz.37 objects was vz.26 LMG, in Petrzalka bridgehead all three objects built had two HMG's).

AARGH! Forgot to add a link to pic!

Yay! Finished Slovakian part, going to Austria! So now just two towns, one high hill and lots of fields remaining

Yellow line is border, screenshot covers left (ie south) part of the map.

Yay! It's done! Atleast in its first incarnation. Uploaded it on MBT forums as its timeframe suits it more than WW2, here's the link:

Prosit!

Update: 1938 variant coming to life. Had to use fantasy on lots things - position of forest tracks, exact shape of Danube arms, swamps etc., but so far all the superfluous buildings gone, all the missing buildings added, positions of all bunkers marked, superfluous bridges and roads deleted... - on the Petrzalka bank. Bratislava awaits cleansing, as well as Berg and Kittsee in Austria. Plus lots of forests to be planted.

1938 map is ready here.

EDIT: Found fatal mistake, impassable bridge. Fixed.

Okay, here's the scenario.

Just few words - I am no good at scenario design, and German side is here just pure guesswork of two infantry regiment-scale attack.
For Czechoslovakian side, I tried to simulate the
I had few informations about the exact composition of Petrzalka defences. I knew forts were manned by border battalion no.50, formerly IV. battalion of RInfantry Regiment no.39, and that there were two pre-planned battalion HQ posts and one regimental, and the bn posts were placed in such a way that suggested splitting into two sectors with Kittsee road as the axis. So I have decided to man the bridgehead with a better part of the regiment - bn. no.50 mand forts, Infantry Battalion I. and II. are manning prepared trenches in second line of defense.

To load this scenario, you need to download also my modified Czechoslovakian OOB, in OOB section of this forum (will add link once I'll add the post).
