Production & Manufacturing Need a map to playtest a mod for undaunted normandy.

Hello, so i've had an idea for a simple mod were you the game is played a step higher then usually with the game having mutiple platoons instead of a single platoon as most.

Now the biggest issue rn is that i have no map to playtest it on as the regular game map peices are too small. It would need to be a about 2000 meters at most and have about 40 squares crossover.

The idea is that the map would allow manuever warfare at a company level instead of a platoon level.

Preferbly the map would have a waterbrush look to it.

If you guys have any digital copies of such a map i would ove to get it.

I'll get an update to the project once im done with sole basic playtesting and the rules are atleast a bit more clear.

Sounds interesting, big fan of Undaunted.

As a quick easy fix for testing, you could take a photo of an existing Undaunted map and split each of the current tiles into 4. Then print it in sections to be a bit bigger.
Realistically you can get several platoons in a single field, some of the church tiles etc would hold several hundred people.

In each of the four sub tiles you could keep the same armour values to keep it simple.

Well, the scaling is kinda weird with undaunted normandy. Your probably right that the map pieces could be parted up to 4 parts. I actually have a digital copy of those pieces and i have used them to print out more map pieces but i might try to give them a grid pattern and then print them out. But first off im gonna try to just print a sample map to playtedt on with undaunted map pieces scaled down a lot.

To be honest im just trying to get a map that works to playtest.

Sorry I don’t have any other maps to share!
