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.
How to unfold the maps

Subject says it how do you unfold your maps so that they don’t get bumpy and becomes perfectly flat?? I tried to put them 2days + under heavy books but there are still some elevations where they were originally folded…plz help!!

Fold them in the other direction. That’s what I do and mine lay flat.

I’d suggest getting them laminated… Staples or The UPS Store can do all 4 maps for a reasonable rate AND they look good when laminated.
