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.
Support unit question
-
I noticed support units are soldiers. Does that mean they can go into the bunkers?

Yes they can, as long as they start in the same hex
However it’s not necessarily going to do a lot for an Ammo or Fuel depot which have a 33% chance of going up in flames regardless. You’re not likely to want to put your depot too close to the front either, so it’s not that useful for your own units. However enemy units, eg PTs and Partisans, might then make use of it. Of course there is still a decent enough chance you will survive the flammable roll, and then the 3+ cover is nice. I’m not entirely sure it’s worth it, but you can do it.

I’m starting to think I should get my own Q&A section ;)
