Chechnya: Kalinovskaya Map
This is a 15.2 x 15.2 km map representing a rural area of northern Chechnya. It has one fairly unusual feature as far as Armored Brigade maps go: a large river. By default, there is only one crossing point (a bridge) available on the map – though it is possible to manually make it passable when setting up battles.
This map does not come with any pre-made scenarios, but can be readily used with the battle generator.

Kalinovskaya is an old Cossack settlement in the far north of Chechnya, located on the banks of the Terek river – and is notable for hosting a large Soviet-era airfield. The rest of the area is predominantly agricultural.
Historically, there was not much fighting in this area during the Chechen wars and it remained under pro-Russian control, with one exception: Kalinovskaya airfield, held by the separatists in 1992-1994, was destroyed by Russian air strikes on December 1st, 1994 – with over 100 aircraft (mostly L-29 and L-39 trainers) wiped out by the bombing and left abandoned. Russian ground forces bypassed this area during the initial invasion 2 weeks later, and the separatists abandoned Kalinovskaya without fighting, moving to join the main battle at Grozny.
This map is mostly included as a bonus for now – originally, it was meant to be part of a much larger Chechnya map, but it may be a long time before I get a chance to complete that!

Note: this map is intended for use with the Chechnya Database mod, which can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1903536349
However, the database mod is NOT required – you can play the map with default Armored Brigade units if you wish. It is predominantly open country and farmland, and will likely work very well as a stand-in for Russian/Soviet countryside.
