The naval location “Volcanic Island” - is an archipelago of small rocky islands concentrically diverging from the centre of the location where there is one of the capture points. Inspiration for this map was taken from the  seascape, rocks, vegetation and nature around New Zealand.

Location : Smolensk

The location for aircraft battles “Smolensk” has been created on with reference to aerial photography of Smolensk and its environs in autumn 1941. Here, during the Battle of Smolensk, even with the high cost in human and material losses for the Red Army, it was possible to disrupt the “Barbarossa” plan and to prevent the breakthrough of the German army towards Moscow.
