Great <> to authors!


Leningrad is not modelled correctly yet. Kanttori mentiod me something about updating Leningrad later. He got all the maps to do it.

Vad and See you in Karelian sky soon :aok

Vad,
I pretty much disagree with the your opinion about the siege and the reasons for June-44 attack, but this is not the time place to talk about it. :)  (many archives are still unavailable)
I hope you make it to the scenario and enjoy it. S!

ps. I visited Viipuri in summer of 2004. Many of the and building textures come from photos from that trip :)

Agree, it is not time and place to talk about history.

Let me know if you need any photos of Leningrad, maps, airfields positions, photos of ships in Leningrad port at the time of war, etc. I can't promise much but I will do my best. Russian Inet contains a lot of such things, and it is easier for Russian speaking persons to browse sites in Russian.

Vad,
thanks for the offer. I bet Kanttori will be thrilled, since he is planning on updating the  Leningrad area (among other things) at some point :)

Vad, I should be very pleased if you really could do that! I have such a good and big Leningrad map from the years 1930-40, but this is the only document I have catched from the internet.

We need just the photos and military maps from that period.

Now I have much to do with the 5-6 special historical Karelian Isthmus' airfields and couple of bugs repair to the last map's update before the scenario, but I am going to finish this map later in this year: more historical individual airfields, Kronstadt, Lappeenranta town and Leningrad.

So we need also aerial photos and maps from the Russian airfields near Leningrad and Kronstadt. If you find them it should be great!

Here's my e-mail to where you can send the material if you find something interesting: kanttori@kesalesket.net

Good choice using Joomla for the CMS. :aok  The top button bar is a little tough to read, though. You may also want to use the wrapper component to embed the AH calendar in the site.

DoK, I debated as to whether the top bar was too dark or I was just getting old lol.  It's right on the edge isn't it.  I like it though, I thought it kept the page from looking top heavy with a brilliant bar.

I'm going to make sure ForHim and Dantoo catch your comment on the wrapper, as you lost me on that one but I would like to see the calendar embedded.

Thanks!
ROC
Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Wrapper just puts an external URL in an iframe. It usually works pretty well. There are a couple of decent Joomla calendar components as well which would give more flexibility in terms of posting practice times, sign-up dates, and so on.
