Rather than spamming the main thread of the WWM section with stuff related to my Lauban map I will dump it here in stead.

I'm currently building the city itself.. laborious work but fun.

February 1945 - Troops of the 6th Volksgrenadier Division have recieved orders to halt any Soviet advance in the Lauban area.

The city of Lauban -by far the most time consuming part of the map- is 100% complete (will likely add minor changes and some detail as I progress though). Naumburg am Queis will be the second largest town -at the opposite end of the map- on the map and will roughly be 1/4th of Lauban in size.

The following towns will be included on the map:

Lauban, Naumburg, Schreibersdorf, Gruna, Rachenau, Hennersdorf, Seifersdorf, Ober Bilau, Logau, Kunzendorf, Alt Neuland, Gunthersdorf and Thiemendorf. This roughly covers the towns involved in the operation.
