- [3.1.0]? Setting Up the Map & Pieces
The four Map Sections have been designed so that they overlap each other when they are placed together. Each map is identified by a compass heading: NW, SW, NE and SE. The NE map should be placed on the table first. Next, the SE map should be placed so that it overlaps with the NE map. The NW map is then placed over the NE map so that it overlaps it. Finally, the SW map is fitted over the NW and SE map. When placed together correctly, the roads and terrain features should align properly along the hexes on the edges of the maps.
Example: Bitburg is located in hex number 6319 on the SE map.
The units and markers should be sorted by formations and usage. Note that units from the same divisions have a color code behind their divisional ID's to aid in identifying them for sorting and during play. Once a scenario has been decided on, units that begin the scenario on the map should be set up according to the scenario rules. When setting up units note that a hex is identified by the letter of the map it is on and the number printed within its borders.
