I saw your post sitting so long I registered to give you a few pointers on maps. Most if not all the WotC map packs are themed in some way. Originally they were 2" hexes but were changed some time ago. The map packs you mentioned are themed as follows: North Africa - 3 Desert maps and on reverse side 3 jungle maps. Eastern Front - 3 town/factory maps and on the reverse side 3 Russian steppes maps. There are two starters, the one in the cardboard box is the old one and contains 12mm mini’s and 2" hex maps. the new starter is in a blister pack and has 15mm mini’s and 3" hex maps. The maps in the new starter are mixed forest/hills/clear. The rules and revised cards are downloadable through the WotC site.
Resident Evil 4 Axis and Allies Miniatures

This may sound sort of weird, but I’ve been working on a sort of Axis and Allies RE4. It’s a great, and I figured, hey, why not combine my two passions? I have all the monsters figured out along with Leon, and a few scenarios. However, I think it still needs alot work. Anyone wanna help?

This is actually a good idea i think. I’m not a fan of RE at all, (never played any of them) but making scenarios following favorite movies or books could be a lot of fun. How about a Dirty Dozen scenario? Or maybe a Kelly’s Hero’s campaign? War of the Worlds could be revamped for the 1940s. Plenty of fun to be had.

Or more appropriately than RE: Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan.

There already is a BoB set of scenarios out, and I think SPR is done too. The Avalon Hill A&AM forums has a scenario sections. You can find them there.

I believe the SPR scenarios used squads to represent the individual characters; so Pvt Jackson is represented by a Hunting Sniper, Pvt Ryan is a Screaming Eagle; which puts it a bit off, when what’s supposed to be a single trooper has nearly the firepower of an MG42.
That being said, they’re still fun.
As for RE4… not my cup of tea, but whatever works for you. If I get really bored one day I might just try that D&D vs AAM.

I split the Zombies stuff into a new topic.
