Can we see the Jump Maps?

[Hancock the Superb]

I didn't see one for Herr's ridge and area, though.

Or did you just not post it.

Yes it's posted. Herr's Ridge is part of the Macpherson's Ridge map. It's a little hard to read in the screenshots, but the maps have been updated for the release and are easier to read.

I think Hancock's concern (he can correct me if I'm wrong) is that the map western edge gets cut off right at the Herr Tavern location and doesn't include anything west of that point where Buford's cavalry initially opened the battle, where Confederates initiated their 1st day attacks, or where Longstreet started his march on the 2nd for positioning his troops for the 2nd's afternoon actions. Since Herr's ridge runs in a generally SW/NE direction most of the ridge SW of Herr's Tavern would not be part of the game map, including a large portion of Springs Hotel Woods and 1st day Confederate staging areas in and just west of these woods.

This old version of the jump map may be misleading, because the engagements you list above are all in the game.

Thanks LP. That's good news. Does the map extend far enough west to include Marsh Creek? I think Marsh Creek is the most west we'd need but I don't think we even have to go quite that far west to still be good to go for the game.

The map isn't that misleading, as it still shows the actual game area, we just updated the actual look of the map. Herr's tavern is JUST barely on the map and is the westernmost point in this game area. Marsh Creek -- and locations SW of Herr's Tavern -- is not in the game map for Day 1.

That should still be good because all you're really excluding are the very initial early morning cavalry holding actions. All the really major actions happened on the east side of Herr Ridge. There's an awful lot of terrain on those four maps.

My men plan on spending quite a lot of time in Herr's Tavern.

OK, I’m not really into math, so if the TC2M maps are 2.0 miles, and the new maps are 2.48 miles, does that mean that the new maps will be roughly a mile larger than the current maps?

Basically, and I understand that the games are using two different formats, such as jpg vs spats , but if you took the new game and laid it onto a jpg file, would the new game extend roughly a half mile vertical, and horizontal over the current maps?

Thanks!

It's all about the scale. There are a bunch of PR parameters that seem to increase the map size dramatically if you mess with them. You can tweak these numbers to change the map size. Bad answer, sorry.
