		As for the Red Army, somehow the author managed to miss the fact that the Soviets were in the midst of a huge reorganization of mechanized forces in the summer of 1941, which had a major impact on their combat readiness.
		The 2-D maps in this volume are quite good and include: initial dispositions (division-level); the frontier battles; the Kiev pocket; the capture of the Crimea; the Donbas and Rostov; and strategic overview.
		The three battle scenes are all very good but lacking in balance, since all are from the German viewpoint (I thought Osprey always tried to represent both sides?) and indeed, the entire volume is clearly pro-German.

	Death Tolls of War - Total War Center Forums
		I am in full agreement with your Civil War battles totals, they seem spot on, however the ACW is beleived to have resulted in 620,000 killed or died of disease, not 558,000.
		Also, for WWI battles I think you may have just gone with one day figures for battles that in reality lasted many months, most obvious among them were the Somme and Verdun.
		The Somme may be close to the truth, as I beleive around 700,000 casualties were suffered on all sides (not killed, just casualties)...so 300,000 dead may in fact be correct, but Verdun is far larger, with over 1 million casualties, so I'd wager more along the lines of 450,000 dead at Verdun.
