I saw your post sitting so long I registered to give you a few pointers on maps. Most if not all the WotC map packs are themed in some way. Originally they were 2" hexes but were changed some time ago. The map packs you mentioned are themed as follows: North Africa - 3 Desert maps and on reverse side 3 jungle maps. Eastern Front - 3 town/factory maps and on the reverse side 3 Russian steppes maps. There are two starters, the one in the cardboard box is the old one and contains 12mm mini’s and 2" hex maps. the new starter is in a blister pack and has 15mm mini’s and 3" hex maps. The maps in the new starter are mixed forest/hills/clear. The rules and revised cards are downloadable through the WotC site.
Silly question

Hi i’m wondering can anyone explain to me what the mini’s are? Do you use them as replacment pieces for proper A&A games?

It is a separate game completely. Each unit is a completely different mold and has its own stats on a special card. It is played on a hex map and each player has an objective, whether to take a city, mountain or something. Or, just to destroy the enemy. What I like most though, is the fact that each unit looks different and they come painted.
Look at the official website of avalon hill and click on the miniatures to see more details.
