I am so glad to see that this should be an option for me in the future. I think I want to pick up Sets 2/4 first.

I always felt like the original DD was too large for CCW scale. When we had that much table space, we would use 2/3/4 of the Midville maps.

The size (relative and actual) of this version of DD seems perfect!

But has anyone worked out just how big CCW DD would have to be at 6e scale?

CCW Scale 1"=15'
CCW DD: 480'x315'

CC6E Scale (@1:60) 1"~=5' (@1:64) 0.9875" = 5'
CC6E DD: (@1:60) 360'x240' (@1:64) 355.5'x237'

CCW Playmat (Approximate) 8'x 5.25'

I really wanted to see Midville make a comeback.
With the new scale, I'm going to build a 4x4 city street intersection. The buildings on the corners will give players a place for dashboards and cards. Each player can start at one end of a street and race to the fight in the middle. Just watch out for Pedestrians in the crosswalks ;) .
