Warehouse23 used to have those for sale separately, I ordered a set back in February but it seems they are out of stock now.

The Battlefields Kickstarter that's coming will have two maps, G3 and S3, that will fill some of this gap.

The "Battle Box" for the Miniatures (which is a set of PanEuropean defenders, plus Mk.III, Mk.IV, Mk.V, and Fencer cybertanks with interchangeable A/B parts) also has Map G1 (one of the four that were hardboad in ODE) on poster paper.

I'm hoping that means we can cajole SJG into doing the 4-map set on poster paper, either on its own, or as a stretch goal for Battlefields, or something like that. (As at the price to manufacture, and price to ship, the hardboard, I'm not expecting a print run in the near future. They retailed for $60 several years ago, and when I got a set it was $20 to ship them)

Seeing the green maps released in paper would be a nice compromise. Not as nice as the hardboard, but still playable. I still have my paper GEV map from the deluxe set with miniatures years back.

Also can we get some scenarios in Battlefields using just those maps (G3 and S3)? It would give that product more utility for 6e owners.

One assumes that's happening. It would be quite a gaff, otherwise.

Imagine this was a OGRE game on a strategic level with maybe three different eras, early, mid and late Last War, with The NIGHTFALL and Factory States as well. Imagine those game pieces being OGRE pieces like OGREs and AI Factories...
That's a really interesting idea. I've kicked around something more minimalist, based on Diplomacy, with some extra nasty bits about remaining in control at home (vs fragmenting into the Factory States).

Under the insanely impossible items, an Ogre calendar 12 months, 12 maps, and 12 scenarios. A POD might be barely workable.

Miniatures, miniatures, and more miniatures.
