I’ve always wanted a map that had Calais and Normandy with their own space on the board. Close seconds would be Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Germany and the UK broken into more territories. Not to any specific historical boundary due to it being WWII, but so you could do Quasi-Cold War scenarios afterwards.
Is there any kind of A&A map which can help understand the issue of encirclement in Leningrad ?
And how it was still possible for Soviet to provide food and ammunition to them?

Supplies were brought across frozen Lake Ladoga.

Nothing happens when you get surrounded in Axis and Allies - perhaps because the territory divisions are so large as to support armies for a long time?

A side note: In Global War, 2nd edition, defending Infantry get +1 bonus in cities. That is cancelled out if attackers surround the city. Great concept.
Oh, and the Viking stuff: Historical evidence have shown they reached the Black Sea. They could transport their ships on timber between the rivers. Quite clever :-)

Are you sure about this? An HBG global rule perhaps?
Interesting info on the Vikings!
From the rulebook section 1.7 on page 9:
Cities afford Defending infantry-class units +1 Defense on all rounds of combat and target selection “1” for armor-class units. A city that is completely surrounded by Enemy units conveys a -1 to all Defending units on all rounds of combat.
OK HBG global - I see it now…
