But Poland 44' could be nice too. In the autumn of 1944, the Red Army almost completely ceased operations in Poland. The front was pretty much static at the Vistula from August 44 to January 45, owing to the fact that Stalin had made the push into the Balkans a top priority. The Soviet Union had a massive army, but it wasn't massive enough to allow a push all across the front, hence the stop that Jukov and Rokossovsky had to made, especially after Bagration. That opens the door of a lot of what-ifs: what if the Wehrmacht had moved important forces from the Western front to the East, allowing the Allies to reach the Rhine faster of course, but also allowing a powerful German counter-attack to recapture Poland and East Prussia ? Would have been a desperate move but still very interesting to analyze and play out...
Yes, it's obvious that Tunisia is the easiest one to do due to the amount of info available (BTW as a poster said before it would be nice to include the Torch landings and the combat against Vichy france forces (it was small but... there was).
About Poland i think that a map covering until Vistula river wuld be enoguh, don't you think?
Your post give me an idea about... it would also be interesting to see a game covering the russian attack on Romania bulgaria and part of Yugoslavia wouldn't it?
