Default Which Ogre maps are currently available where?

would someone explain which maps have been available for Ogre and which maps are currently available and in which product?
I have seen references to a shockwave/GEV map but I can not figure out which product it is in.
With the Battlefield Kickstarter I started wondering about some of the old maps and the maps referenced in some of the scenarios. I am mostly interested in maps to use with the current edition and the miniatures.

Thanks!

Roughly (there's a lot of other bits involved with versions, etc)

ODE (Ogre Designer's Edition) - O1, G1, G2, S1, S2 - large format
Ogre (1977, various reprints) - (orange map, originally black and white line art)
G.E.V. (1978, 1980s - various) - the GEV map, renamed to G1 in ODE
Shockwave (1984, 2000) - the Shockwave map, renamed to S1 in ODE
Ogre Reinforcement Pack (1987, 2000) - Replacement GEV and Shockwave Maps
Ogre Battlefields (2001) - G2,G3, S2,S3 - The original location of the main maps in the Battlefields KS
M1 - small print test in W23 earlier this year
M2, M3 - part of the Ogrezine II KS (M1 re-offered)
M4, M5 - part of Battlefields KS (M1,M2,M3 re-offered)
Ogre 6th Ed (2017) - O1 orange map - Currently in print
Battlefields KS (2018) - G-1/G-3 double-sided, S-1/S-3 double-sided, M1,M2,M3,M4,M5 - neoprene mats available to order now

The Miniatures sets, Deluxe Ogre and Deluxe G.E.V. had paper versions of their respective maps, and the New Battle Box has a reprint of the G.E.V. (G1) map.

When you see "The G.E.V. map" in an old scenario, that means G-1 in the new maps (what will be on the back of the G-3 map in the Battlefields KS)
When you see "The Shockwave Map" in an old scenario, that means S-1 in the new maps (what will be on the back of the S-3 map in the Battlefields KS)

For a more detailed version list, check out the Ogre Ludography

man, when I typed this out
Battlefields KS (2018) - G-1/G-3 double-sided, S-1/S-3 double-sided, M1,M2,M3,M4,M5 - neoprene mats
That's a LOT of maps. The KS is really living up to it's name.

The maps for Deluxe Ogre and Deluxe GEV (metal minis with paper maps), Ogre Designer's Edition (board-mounted maps with cardboard counters), Ogre 6th Edition (ditto), the Battle Box (plastic minis with paper map), the Battlefields Kickstarter (board-mounted and counters), and the five playmats* (neoprene maps only) all have largish about (1 1/2-inch) hexes that can be used with the minis or with the large counters from the in-print versions of the game.

Earlier versions had smaller hexes suitable for the half-inch counters that came with those games.

*Playmat M2 is based on the Iron Mountain scenario published in The Space Gamer and later reprinted in The Ogre Book. The other playmats are all new designs that can be put together to form a large map.

Note all of the mats, M1 - M5, are optional add-ons to the Battlefields KS. They are not included as part of the standard Battlefields box. There is a pledge level that includes M4.

Thank you very much for all the information. I thought it was a complicated subject.
