The Battle Map series is designed to encourage team play and accommodates up to 8 players; each map comes ready-to-play with all terrain, obstacles and unit positions pre-printed, making set-up a snap. Battle Map Volume 2 includes 6 new Tiger Tank miniatures and 2 additional bonus scenarios that are playable on a regular Memoir '44 board - Villers-Bocage and St-Aignan-de-Cramesnil.
Memoir '44 Battle Map Volume 2 requires 1 copy of Memoir '44 and the Operation Overlord expansion, or two full copies of Memoir '44 to play. It is expected to be available in May in both North America and Europe. Retail price is $18/€16.
