Trying to make my own scenario for my Gotterdammerung game by putting two of the smaller maps together, the maps aren't really designed for it, and mores the pity for that, but it will work.
While trying to think up a scenario I thought of the episode in the last few days of the battle when Hanna Reitsch and FM Ritter von Griem flew into Berlin in a Fiesler Storch light observation plane and landed under fire on the East West Axis. So I dug out a Storch counter I had copied from Imaginative Strategist and everything just kind of fell into place. I also added more shell hole counters as the area was really beat up by this time.
Now the Russians didn't know what the Storch flying in was about, but could Hitler himself be trying to escape the ruins of Berlin? They had to find out. I am giving the Russians 5 turns to try and occupy the length of the East West Axis, at least one of the three hexes, being used as the take off and landing strip.To stop that plane from taking off.
The Russians will push from the bottom of the map with some very capable units, the German troops on the other hand are a rag tag group of Volksturm and Hitler Youth squads along with a squad of regular Army units. The Storch and strip themselves are being guarded by three squads of SS from the Nordland Division.
It's possible I may tinker around a bit more with set up but all in all I think this a good place to start.
