Okay... Chomley kindly emailed me an aerial view of the site. I've put a few ideas on it.
The orange patches are potential places that can be used as the DRWs homes/places of residence.
Note the Allied LZ/DZ is actually off the map to the right.
In the real battle the early attacks from the germans came from the same end of the bridge as the brits. Later attacks came across the bridge and an even later attack came from the same side again. This is the reasoning behind my placement of the axis regens. It may be that we use both or do some further moving...
I expect all allied troops to start at the DZ. All Axis troops to start spread all over the site (not in the hotel except for Model) and the DRWs to start at one or more of the orange locations.
As for the DRWs regens, I'm not sure... maybe just have them regen at the DZ/LZ? Another option would be to have regens for them in the city somewhere.
Note that this layout effectively means that North is somewhere to the south east and that the whole map would need to be skewed somewhat!
In the absence of the scenario/game plan/running order I cant see much wrong with that.
Might I suggest before the start of the game we secrete a couple of small units of Jerry near the Allied LZ as they did have to fight lightish resistance off the fields and onto the roads. DRW might even have a hand in locating and breifing the Alies of their whereabouts.
Small technical point - the building marked yellow in the centre of the map above and to the left of the 'A' in Allied is out of play. (Pikeys removed some radiators by chaining them up and dragging them out along with the walls they were attached to. Hell, Rawlpugs are strong!!)
Yeah... I reckon that at the start axis can depoly anywhere on site... but only in very small groups... (i.e. max 2 axis in each building at the start)
I didn't realise that building was out of play... fair enough, it looked a bit dodgy.
My initial plan was to have axis forces scattered about the approach routes of the allies, however its imperative the lalies have no idea of this until it happens so the le we tlak of it the btter.

Without having been ot the site I can't really comment . I put my trust in the Brits !
My initial scenario thughts coming up....
watch this space.
