    I voted for the Battle of the Bulge, and DV I expect a totally new set of events for every day of the battle

      I'd go with the French Resistance.

      That'd be something cool. A guerilla war set in WW2.

        The That-Ke battle, French-Vietnamese war. Guerrilla + conventional warfare.

            Then specify...

            Domodossola partisan republic, 1943-1944.

            Or the battle of Anzio.

              Winter War. To me, this is the most interesting conflict of WWII. In fact, one of the first mini-scenarios I made when first fiddling with Civ II was based on this. It (the scenario) was a horrible little thing, and I want to see it done right. So...yeah, make this one.

                the lenningrad siege would be similar to a stalingrad scenario IMO, but with FMK's rate of advance, you could start on a leningrad scenario tommorow and finish before him

                i voted for battle of the bulge

                  I voted for Kursk. Although I wouldn't mind seening a good Afrika Korps scenario. In fact, it'd be willing to offer my assistance if needed if you choose Africa.

                    Battle of the Bulge. Mmmm, that name always makes me think of eating and round bellies

                    But seriously, there aren't many good scenarios around about the later stages of the war and the Axis defeat. Hardjoy was working on something similar but covering a much wider arena and time (late 1942 to 1946 I think, and covering most of northern Europe.)

                    And make THIS one for MGE

                          It's also called the Battle of the Ardenne Forest, it's the last German offensive in the West.

                            All interesting ideas that would make great scenario's, if I had to pick one I'd go for the Winter War but one I'd really like to see which isn't mentioned is a scenario covering the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in the final days of the war.
