Fnord Con M6 M7 maps

[Mack_JB]

Yeehaw! I got the email announcement yesterday, and went straight to my W23 account and ordered them. These are glorious days for the Ogre player, indeed.

Happy news : they are also available as addon on the Pocket Box Games of the Eighties backerkit... with a much reduced shipping for us European.

Added !

Btw : the picture for M7 on backerkit is the same than M6.

I ordered them yesterday morning - can't resist maps. :)

GAAAH! I can't order them until Wednesday!!!! I hope they don't sell out!

I got to play a game on M7 against someone who was determined to prove it was a viable map for an all-GEV force.

He changed his mind. :)

I see playmats for Ogre labelled M6 and M7, I have the original Ogre map, GEV, G2, G3, Shockwave, S2 and S3.
I'd like to get all the maps I might be missing in paper form, like the originals, all in the same size hexes.
A list of those I'm missing, so I know exactly which ones, and suggestions on how to acquire them.
my thoughts go toward thinking an Ogre, or attacking force, may decide to attack a CP from any direction. the CP should be in the center to allow the possibility. The defensive setup would need to take this into consideration, talk about balancing forces.

The M-series maps are different than all the paper ones. These are new designs printed on 24" x 24" neoprene with 1.5" hexes like the big paper ones. Short print-runs of the designs have been made available during Kickstarter projects over the past year; odds look good that they will be available in upcoming KS projects if folks keep buying them.

And to think, M1 was "just an experiment" -- and now we're up to M7, with more coming already hinted at. I'd say it was a successful experiment.

Not only was it "Just an experiment", Phil was so nervous it was suggested as "If you guys can pre-order 100, we'll place the order". M1 is on what, its 4th or 5th reprint now? Plus Munchkin is getting in on the action, between the Mat of Mayhem and the "Globe Theater" board that Shakespeare fell short of the stretch goal on during its KS...

Saturday during the keynote, whoever was speaking at the time said straight up that Steve and Drew have a lot more ideas, so as long as they keep selling they'll keep producing new ones.

It's a shame that the realities of production made it so they don't line up with the original G/S series...but those are getting love too, with G3/S3 coming to ODE-style mounted board via Battlefields, and Steve having an 'oooooh!' moment when "Y'know, you could get S2/G2 into the hands of people who missed ODE by doing a battlefields 2 and making an all-new G4/S4...." came up during the KS.

Man, I drop off the radar for a couple days, and the world goes all topsy-turvy on me. More maps is never a bad thing
