Mr. Hentz's drawing is as cluttered, chopped, and ugly as was that of GDW's 1940. Crowded into the scene is a veritable museum of militaria and one rather grotesque character. But then, some consider war itself to be an ugly and grotesque business. The mapsheet is generally outstanding. Southern Finland is included.
Rivers are along hex-sides.
This is good, in that the rivers are less significant obstacles themselves in their upper reaches, but it is sometimes bad in that there is often marsh and woods at the source of many of Russia's great rivers. Major rail lines are mapped accurately, and John has made sense of the basic patterns of the seemingly chaotic Russian tracks. Swamp seems a little sparse around Tichvin and a little excessive north of Zhitomir. Considering their prohibitive movement and combat penalties, swamp hexes might have been more conservatively dispensed in this area. In one or two instances coastline hex-sides seem ambiguous.
