Are the maps historical?

I know they only cover a small area (which is great) but are they historically accurate?

I'm not involved with this game in any way so this is just speculation, but I suspect they'll be geomorphic maps representative of the terrain types that the scenarios take place in. (Like Squad Leader)

I would guess they are representative. Though I'm sure that a number of us will be creating historical maps. I've been working on a historical map of le Manoir la Fiere. I did one for Combat Mission, so, converting it for BoH isn't going to be too difficult.

Hey Guderon, live anywhere near Phoenix?

Nope, I live in Sierra Vista - it's about 75 miles SE of Tucson. Two of my three kids live in Phoenix though....

That's not far. Perhaps the next time you're up visiting the youngins' we can hook up. A friend of mine and I do some Micro-Armor gaming, and we'll be doing some LnL: BoH too. We've also got older kids, so we might have a few things in common.

Hi Guys,

They are geomorphic and an accurate portrayal to the type of the terrain found in Normandy... ie. bocage, pretty girls, etc.

Best,
Mark
