I'd like FL to release more battle maps

Sat 30 Sep 2023, 13:04

I'd like some more battle maps, and I think a dedicated battle maps supplement could be a cool thing, like a set of 16 double sided maps shrink wrapped. Seems to be pretty easy to produce, and I'd buy them (source: already supported two different Patreons to slake my battle map thirst). So that's one customer already!

And what I'd like them to support is some more authentic Polish landscapes and places that are likely to be the scene of fighting. Examples:

- Typical countryside road, with detached houses on lots with narrow fronts towards road and narrow strips of farmland radiating out (see anywhere in Poland on Google Maps)
- An intact road bridge over a small river, important point to control and prime real estate for checkpoints
- A steel mill i.e. like the one in Ruda Śląska. You can put it next to the railyard battle map from UO for additional industrial hellscape goodness.
- A typical small town square. Important for markets and gatherings, and also place where things can get out of hand and devolve into fighting.
- An allotment area/koloniträdgård/działkowanie (like 51.74217819832496, 19.507067128651347) Important food-producing areas inside cities, also a maze of narrow paths, small buildings, hedges etc that make for an interesting environment to fight in.
- Dilapidated palace now being used as a POW camp/HQ/secret lab, like the Dembinski Palace. There are quite a few of these around. Great for re-enacting 28 Days Later as well.
- Logistics/distribution center. Usually fenced-in, nice big buildings, some possibilities for scrounging but there might suddenly meet the new tenants while you poke around, because it's also a nice central location to set up shop.

Then there's two customers! :) Any kind of maps in particular that would be useful at your table?

More maps would definitely be appreciated.
Realistic "Post-apo" -maps that do not look like they are made for Fallout are hard to come by in general.
To make matters worse the scale of TW isn't exactly very common in maps.
Luckily since I play VTT it is pretty easy to add some items on the maps that I have used or to alter the maps otherwise.

And all that "just you know take image from google earth and then GIMP it" -advice isn't helping. I have yet to see a good looking Google Earth edited battlemap and I would like to somehow have the visual outlook of the game similar across different maps.
So yeah, I would definitely buy a (virtual) map pack!

Also, the maps I've gotten from my Patreons look good, but printing them out on office paper is not ideal, and it's pretty expensive to get a copy shop to do them for me. Maps on thick, nice paper like in the boxes is much better.

And as Vcutter says, having the same style is also good.

Someone answered you prayers guys.

Drivethurrpg.com in the free league workshop some has something 10 different sets of battle maps for sale for decent prices, less the 10 bucks I think. Cannot recall what the price is with out looking it up. There is a ton of stuff made for the game that is pretty good stuff, others not so much, and some stuff the is middle of the road. Worth checking out and lots of stuff for free.

Yeah, by all means there are battle maps available. However none of them are in the house style of T2K, and they are digital only. I'd still pay good money for physical+digital on nice thick paper, and made to the original style.

I just got the Black Madonna beta, and there are six battle maps in there! So good work, FL, but I still want to give you money for some more!

I'd still like an edition of the maps with 10cm hexes so I can plop down my Team Yankee minis, even if just a pdf I can take to a print shop or set up my printer to poster print them.

Has anyone tried using an AI to make them like DALL-E3?
