I agree with this.
High quality colour reproductions of period Luftwaffe and RAF maps on stiff paper would be perfect. At full 1:1 scale, please. Not shrunk down to an A8 (ie:8 inch by 11 inch) sheet.

I know that I'll use mine so as not to have to have a virtual map up on the screen. I'll cover it in matt plastic so I can draw navigational information on it for each flight (and for durability).

Something like that really adds "value" to a boxed version, imo, as it increases the immersion in-game. Which is why I strongly feel that full scale reproductions of the maps for each side, folded to fit the retail box, are highly preferable to useless but pretty "shrunk to size" maps.

The "authenticity" of the material of the map doesn't concern me so much. Stiff paper will be fine, no need for linen-backed 1940s-grade paper made from Canadian-pine fiber paper .

Just my $0.02,

Thanks,
