Hey everyone, hope you're all having a good holiday season.

It turns out that I still have a few Maps that I haven't released yet, along with a few that people have been asking for reprints on.

It's been a few years since I focused primarily on competitive friendly Maps. I would like map pack 8 to at least be more geared towards the good old days did they have the last few map packs.

There's definitely going to be the command level of some sort of star Destroyer type ship. There's also going to be another desert themed map. I'm thinking two or three reprints of maps that were on the restricted list that have been out of print. And I think beyond that I would like to focus on locations from the recent movies.

I basically need some sort of affirmation from people still playing this game that they want new maps. I'll be honest, 90% of the people buying these Maps aren't using them for Star Wars miniatures anymore. With that said I still have a pretty strong connection to the game, and want to continue to do whatever needs to be done to keep it fresh.

My hope is to have map pack 8 be a larger collection then the other map packs which are usually anywhere from six to eight Maps. Ideally I would like this one to be 10 or 12 Maps. Enough to keep things fresh at least for a year or so.

Heck yes in for new maps, especially from the latest movies.

2 things:

1. I need to know what needs to be reprinted. I'm leaning towards Royal Plaza, Spynet HQ, Rhen Var citadel, with updated art. And Jabbas Palace with updated art. If there are maps that are a tweak or 2 away from the restricted list, i'm not above making those tweaks. I really would love a few of these maps, and would line to see them get more use, like Oasis Outpost, or Mushroom Planet.

2. Is bloomilk a dead avenue for this stuff? Its infested with bot posts

I LIVE FOR MAPS!

I'm pretty set on Royal Plaza and Spynet HQ being in it, but there will be plenty of new stuff to offset anyone's disappointment.

I have them all, so it doesn't matter to me personally which reprints are in there. I was just thinking that Royal Plaza was one that people generally had access to already, but I could be wrong about that.

As far as map characteristics, recent pieces have greatly accelerated the advance to engagement with more Battle Ready and things like it. Overall, I think that's a good thing for speeding games up, but for squads that want later engagement, it reduces the number of map options. Maps like Rhen Var that require some winding around before engagement are relatively rare. Kind of a tricky balance, though, to make a map that delays engagement until round 2 even after Battle Ready, etc... and yet isn't painfully slow overall.

Over the years, Rhen Var has been on the restricted list as often as just about any other non-WotC map.

I am in as well, can't wait

Still hoping for the exclusive "Sith "map and the Felucia map
