Since HoI3 is going to have nine times the amount the provinces available, is it possible if we could add an additional terrain type being Urban Outskrits
It's my way of explaining the possibility of making NewYork into three separate areas like Long Island, Manhattan & the five burrows and the Catskills. So we can give the game a feeling of we're actually invading a city and when we're done spending half a day or so fighting in it, it's completely captured when in fact it took days, weeks or even an month.
We can do the same for Berlin but especially Stalingrad. In HoI2, Kalach could be considered terrain-wise Urban Outskirts. It yields a far lower penalty in urban fighting but also gives the Defender's less defense advantages as well. But behind the Volga river to the east, we can have two provinces adjacent to Stalingrad that are Urban Outskirts as well. As we know of when the Red Army began sending dozens after dozens of boats over with poorly-armed Soviet soldiers.
The one mechanic between Urban provinces altogether is that if a Attacker is an Urban province and so is the Defender, neither side gets any defensive bonuses for defending in city landscape. Still Motorized, Mechanized, Tanks, Cavalry and anything else that usually gets a severe penalty fighting in Urbanity will still do and it is very interesting and important because the Red Army will excel in Infantry. Thus initially when the German's for example the 6th Army routs the Russian's into Stalingrad, they will have a very hard time to fight inwards into Stalingrad's larger area as the Russian's will have many defensive advantages and far less penalties fighting between them with so many Reserves, Militia and Infantry.
So what do you think? The fact we're going to now have 10,000 land provinces, it would really add to the feeling of strategy that we're going to have to fight prolonged operations around major cities in World War 2. Gives the existence of the Volkstrum a meaning now to. Plus this would coincide with the Regions system nicely if we were to say make Stalingrad into one Region consisting of 4-5 Urban and Urban Outskirts terrain. Instead of taking Moscow, Leningrad, Berlin, London, Tokyo, Stalingrad in one fell-swoop. We have to manage to take all of it's surrounding Urban provinces in the Stalingrad Region.
