GMT Historical Game with Modern Connotations: Ukraine 1943

Just looking at the GMT website and I came across this interesting game (see below, a different time, a different war but the same geography and landscape): 


See map:

For modern purposes it is maybe only half a map, but the range of name places are haunting. Even Poltava is a name that calls out from history, as does Chernobyl.

  1. Speaking of Chernobyl, I gather Russian and Ukraine forces are cooperating in securing that particular area. Good to see, if so.

  2. Even tracks going over the ground stirred up a detectable radiation spike
    Physics does not care about politics for sure
    Cooperation here, well mutual protection, is welcome in this whole sorry sad saga
