Hopefully DoW gives us some breakthrough boards with beachterrain. I think the landings on D-day would be cool in this format.

I think a mounted breakthrough map with countryside on one side and beach on the other would be cool. With a couple of the D-Day beaches as Breakthrough and the possibility for Overlord-Breakthrough D-Day scenarios.

How long did the "breakthrough overlord" solo battle take you? The amount of time I imagine it would take prevents me from trying something on such a large scale.

This battle took me 2 hours to play. And setup time wasn't too bad either. It didn't take much longer than the other overlord battlemaps.

But.

I have only one basegame worth of terrain + trenches from airpack on this one and about 60 units so setup time wasn't worse than Pavlov's house from Sword of Stalingrad.

If I get a second basegame and make a scenario with more terrain and units it will up the setup time, so maybe it is better suited as a battlemap?

That's the one thing that annoys me about the battle maps. They are very hard to get flat (and keep flat). Anyone else have this problem?

Well, the official map worked better than my homemade as that had been rolled up for some time before it was used. Some tiles was sliding down the bumps in the map, but it is what it is and I can live with it.
