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.

Hi,
I’m not sure if a big crowd hangs out here. I’m an amateur map maker and wanted to drop off a few maps for folks to play with. If you wish to print due to its size the base hex size is 2". If you want 3" hexes the size must be increased by 50% but if its used online no need for any scale changes.Ardenne Forest

Field Marshall,
I believe you have to have made a few more posts before you can up-load pics/files. It’s not a large number though. Happy Holidays.

Here’s another map called; Russian Ridge. Its kind of patterned after the Russian Steppes maps with some geology to create good fighting terrain. The road was high level bombed and created shellholes benefiting the Infantry.
