A Few Map Content Highlights....

German armored forces have taken Minsk, surrounded hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers, destroyed thousands of vehiclesa and are now poised to strike towards Smolensk. Outnumbered 3 to 1 in infantry and armor, the Russian forces should try their best to hold each defensive position on this map until lost. Either side can win the day, but it demands teamwork and coordination of armor, transport, artillery and willing infantry. Keep your eyes open for AT Cannons, a new unit created by the map team.

On the 12th day of July, 1943 the Battle of Prokhorovka would become the largest Tank Battle in all of human History. This pivotal battle in Operation Zitadelle and of the Battle of Kursk would be a huge turning point in the war and the beginning of the end for The Third Reich. This map even adds the Soviet Panzerkampfwagen T-34(r) to the Red Orchestra arsenal. Able to hold a maximum 32 players, this map can provide adrenline-soaked tank combat you won't soon forget.
Leningrad - by Kevin "DrGuppy" Butt
http://www.fileplanet.com/spotlight/2007/RedOrchestra/images/Leningrad_T.jpg (http://www.fileplanet.com/spotlight/2007/RedOrchestra/images/Leningrad.jpg)
Set in the middle of an unusually cold winter, Lenningrads' food rations have reached an all time low of only 125 grams of bread per person daily and battle rages in the snowy streets. Including an amazingly complex few blocks of the city on a 1 to 1 scale, this is the hypothetical battle if Operation Nordlicht (German siege on Leningrad) had succeeded and the city had been compromised. Look forward to lots of intense close quarters combat mixed with street fighting and lethal sniping.
