Development story:
This map is based on a real fortress called Vesting Bourtange in the north of the Netherlands. It isn’t a 100% recreation, mind you. This is due to gameplay limitations. But I did try to make it look like the Fortress. Vesting Bourtange is shaped like a pentagram, which I thought would be pretty interesting to base a Company of Heroes map on.

Speaking of gameplay, there are two very important manpower points inside the fortress, if your enemy controls the point closest to you, it will cut you off from your supply sectors inside the fortress. The real fortress only has two vehicle bridges, but I added two none vehicles bridges as well. These bridges are huge chokepoints and if you are pushed from the fortress it will be a very hard battle getting back inside.

The streets inside the fortress were designed back in the day for horse carriages and pre-industrial vehicles. This makes them narrow and not ideal for the heavy German and Allied warmachines. This gives infantry an advantage against vehicles, but once they get to the center of the town, this advantage somewhat is lost.
