Hi!
I posted on this topic elsewhere. Below is the updated code with revised cost in Supplies to re-equip the Waffen-SS divisions Germany did/would gain from liberating occupied Baltic countries, and with the Soviet reaction to the success of the uprisings.
In August of 1937, the Soviets began a bloody repression of minorities inside the USSR in what became known as the "NKVD National Operations." (Code for that event has been posted elsewhere.) The Soviets' 1940 acquisition of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania gave the NKVD more minorities to liquidate. In mid-June of 1941, the NKVD began to murder thousands and to deport tens of thousands of these Baltic peoples to Siberia, with the goal of repopulating the region with Russians. The German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 gave the Baltic peoples a chance to survive. Revolts broke out in all three countries, aided by their countrymen who had been conscripted into the Soviet Army. All three Baltic countries expelled the Soviets, liberated their capitals, and welcomed the approaching German troops as liberators. The Nazis soon dashed their hopes of independence, lumping the Baltics with Belarus in their Reichskommissariat Ostland. Still, the Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians provided the Germans with police (Schuma) battalions for rear area security missions. With the reversal of Germany's fortunes and the approach of Soviet forces, these garrison troops were consolidated and reorganized into Waffen-SS infantry divisions for national defense. The Courland Pocket held out until the end of the war, and armed resistance against Soviet occupation continued until the mid-1950s.
The code is below. The graphics are attached in a compressed (.ZIP) folder.
Have fun and game on!

I posted on this topic elsewhere. Below is the updated code with revised cost in Supplies to re-equip the Waffen-SS divisions Germany did/would gain from liberating occupied Baltic countries, and with the Soviet reaction to the success of the uprisings.
In August of 1937, the Soviets began a bloody repression of minorities inside the USSR in what became known as the "NKVD National Operations." (Code for that event has been posted elsewhere.) The Soviets' 1940 acquisition of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania gave the NKVD more minorities to liquidate. In mid-June of 1941, the NKVD began to murder thousands and to deport tens of thousands of these Baltic peoples to Siberia, with the goal of repopulating the region with Russians. The German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 gave the Baltic peoples a chance to survive. Revolts broke out in all three countries, aided by their countrymen who had been conscripted into the Soviet Army. All three Baltic countries expelled the Soviets, liberated their capitals, and welcomed the approaching German troops as liberators. The Nazis soon dashed their hopes of independence, lumping the Baltics with Belarus in their Reichskommissariat Ostland. Still, the Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians provided the Germans with police (Schuma) battalions for rear area security missions. With the reversal of Germany's fortunes and the approach of Soviet forces, these garrison troops were consolidated and reorganized into Waffen-SS infantry divisions for national defense. The Courland Pocket held out until the end of the war, and armed resistance against Soviet occupation continued until the mid-1950s.
The code is below. The graphics are attached in a compressed (.ZIP) folder.
Have fun and game on!
