I also like AJ idea, even open maps can still have choke points.

The Antietam1 map probably comes the closest with wide open areas for some artillary practice and just enough woods and a lot of rolling hills to make it interesting.
The Antietam2 and Fredericksburg maps in OP on the other hand definitely need engineer regiments to take care of them dam river crossings which the infantry seems to always want to perpetually wade in.

This is very worrying. Complete agreement among this crowd :dry:
OK, now if you could add a second and different map, what terrain type would you like to see on #2?

I love the Chattanooga map because it has choke points for good assaults and defense, wide artillary fields, the oppertunity for street fighting, multiple flanking movements, and so forth.

Sounds ideal! Make a couple like that, and we'll be glad to litter them with dead Sesech and Bluebellies!B)
I also think a couple of maps like this would be good. Maybe one with higher hills and one with villages. Fewer fences and fields. Smaller woods. Good intergrated road systems.

Get digging Eric!
Mordor would be cool - although Pelennor Fields would be better. Mons or the Marne would be my choice of course.
Seriously I think some of the best 'made up' maps are where you base them on a real area. Say near where you live and then just populate it with period buildings etc.

How about an area that could've been a major battlefield. Like Mine Run, or around Harrisburg, PA. Or maybe even in Florida, or Texas.
Okay,I know it's a stretch, but it's just some ideas.
